A Weak Response to Weekly Events?

It appears that the 'Climate Change Emergency' is on us more quickly than was ever suspected or predicted (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/07/one-climate-crisis-disaster-happening-every-week-un-warns). A UN report claims that climate crisis disasters occur, somewhere in the world, on a roughly weekly basis. The remarkable thing is that many (unless there is severe loss of life or they occur in 'newsworthy' parts of the globe) seem to have minimal impact on media reports. It seems likely that this tendency results in a wide under-appreciation of the dangers facing us.
