It's not that surprising. Some states have banned government officials from even using the term "climate change" in official communication[]0]. Society is still very much in conflict about whether or not climate change even exists, which isn't going to change as long as political speech prioritizes reactionary aggression over legitimate research.

The Ukraine conflict OTOH has now escalated to nuclear threats, which poses an imminent risk to pretty much everybody. This is why the EU is now mobilizing after initially staying out it.

EU leaders were honestly just in shock for a day or two as were almost everyone. I watched my old countries leaders press conference and they looked like they just awoke from a nightmare. Right now the National mood has turned to anger - ergo arms are flowing in very quickly.
