Abstract
- The cover story discusses the rationales behind human society's lack of action to prevent climate change, arguing that the human brain has not evolved to react quickly to gradual or distant threats. The economic aspects associated with preventing global climatic changes are noted, including the cost of purchasing an electric car. Other reasons include ignorance about climate change and mitigation options, uncertainty, and confirmation bias.
