Why we do not respond to the climate change threat

".......researchers in the burgeoning field of climate psychology have identified another obstacle, one rooted in the very ways our brains work. The mental habits that help us navigate the local, practical demands of day-to-day life, they say, make it difficult to engage with the more abstract, global dangers posed by climate change."

I too, think it is very true...how else can we explain being like Ostriches concerning climate change? The science is so very sound!!!
