Climate change is a much slower and easier to ignore problem. Big difference between “in 100 years we will see sea levels rise by x amount” and “this asteroid will impact the earth in 714 days and will kill everyone”

There are also a lot of people making money on us not fixing climate change. There isn’t the same economic force preventing us from reacting to asteroid threats
