The primary reason people will stop caring (for a while at least) is due to the systematic destruction of their money. People work hard all their lives for worthless scraps of paper or some numbers on a computer? All constantly and deliberately devalued by the banks and politicians. It forces people to think greedily in order to maintain any wealth as they have to constantly achieve ever more profitable work and investment as savings just lose purchasing power. The gold price indicates that we need to earn 500 times more GBP today compared to 100 years ago............. Roughly, a salary of £200 ( 200 gold sovereigns) then = £100,000 today - what has government done with our money?!!

Why should I care about carbon when China built 40 new coal fired power stations this year, and the west destroyed a pipe line in the Baltic sea releasing half a million tons of methane into the atmosphere? Then there is bitcoin which consumes the same amount of energy as the whole of the UK, and the constant, and avoidable, wars pumping out countless tons of co2 and muck. If politicians really cared we would have a far more peaceful and equal world, but instead their strings are pulled to make a few very very rich at the expense of everything else. Why should I care?
