The poorest have much more pressing and solvable problems like diseases that can be healed, hunger, and general societal development.
I think that's true, but I don't take it as evidence for anything about the topic -- the poorest have the least ability to worry about a future that's not threatening them in the moment.
The reality is that even if the whole world followed the guidance of the UN's study on climate change it would not be enough.
That's probably another vector of the learned helplessness. At this point either some tech hail mary saves the day, or future people will just deal with the cataclysm because there's no other choice. Doesn't seem like there's anything to gain doing anything about it now, unless you're working on the tech hail mary part.
