The world literally becoming uninhabitable and hundreds of millions of climate and war refugees are kind of my problem too mate. I cant just close my eyes and pretend the sea is drowning the land I live on, is desertifying the land I eat food from, driving hundreds of millions out of their lands towards the place where I live to survive, arent there.
