“You are seeing plastic daffodils today because climate change has shortened the flowering times of the real ones. Maybe one day there will be no more real daffodils in the Lake District.

You can ensue the survival of real daffodils by doing everything you can to ameliorate climate change”

Worth a try?

But this is not so much denial, it’s disconnection. It’s the same problem faced by all campaigns for third world poverty or famine. People will it infront of the tv and have a brief emotional response to the graffic pictures of sufferings, believe that something should be done to fight inequalities, then switch off and go about their daily lives in bliss.

It’s just going a while before people start connecting all the dots. I think the person who planted the fake plastic plants may well be aware of climate change, may even ride a bike to work, but for some reason the massive interconnectivity of the issue has not touched that persons choices at every level.

However since we don’t have a while, those who are still living in cloud cuckoo land when are going wake up one day confused at the drastic reduction in their previous wealth of nonsensical choices, feel a bit dumb, annoyed, embarrassed and perhaps angry at not having realised or been informed about reality sooner.
