why bother lying?

at this day and age only a handful of citizens take sustainability and climate change seriously and do all they can to make their lives more sustainable. Different activities they do include recycling, installing solar panels on their roofs, saving water and electricity, taking to public transport or buying emissions-free vehicles. Most of the populations of people who do recycle only do it if there are incentives laid down, and would only take public transport if it was cheaper; they seldom do these activities due to achieving sustainability.

I believe people do not make changes to their lifestyle unless they know of any actual negative effects on them and the people around them if they stick to their normal lifestyle. for example, a community who is frequently prone to flooding due to rising sea levels would do something about it, but a community that will not be at risk until the 22nd century would do nothing about it, and so would not bother to change their lifestyle.

in conclusion we should try to change the lifestyles of the people who are the most likely to be affected by global warming/climate change by showing them the direct effects on their lives, and also start educating people who are in "safe zones" about global warming/climate change and make them be aware of it. however, at the moment most people are ignorant and are beginning to deny the possibility of climate change despite scientific claims. most people are saying that it in a continuous and natural cycle and the world will return to its normal state in the next several decades. If this is true then we would not have to do anything at all.
