People are worried, but they don't respond by stopping climate change, because it doesn't directly affect them. Instead they see people migrating from south to USA and Europe.

The response in USA is that people ask Trump to build a wall. In Europe, people vote for populistic right wing parties who promise to stop migrations.

They don't want to fix the root cause, which is that south is becoming inhabitable by climate change.

Oh please. Only few years ago, all those "refugees" (illegal migrants) were seeking asylum because they were fleeing war in their country. Even though most of them didn't even come from warzones, or came from places in Syria which were never a warzone. But now, in western Europe and USA it's all about doom and gloom climate scenarios, they are suddenly "climate refugees". Just another excuse so that these people can go in.
