Just Google (or Ecosia) "discourses of climate delay" and you'll see how many creatives have put their art at work to illustrate the massive BS excuses we get fed every single day:
The "passing the baton" of responsibility to individuals.
The defeatist doom-ism.
The belittling of activists' efforts and worries...
See below a fab poster I found that summarises them all really well.
Why is this important for you?
Because if a client (or a family member... I've heard some of these coming from family before!) dishes out (knowingly or unknowingly) one of these excuses not to adopt sustainability, you can respond accordingly - if you do your research beforehand.
If you don't know WHAT to say, please spare a few minutes to watch these two short videos I found on LinkedIn which summarise perfectly the status quo and what we can do:
Al Gore on why there is so little political progress on the climate crisis
George Monbiot on how we can change the system
