Agreed. The threat has to be imminent, or it's just not scary enough. 'You might get sick and be dead within a couple of weeks' is a lot scarier than 'We might have dangerous weather and food shortages when you're a geriatric'.

They had enough trouble getting people to cooperate with a lockdown when even when people knew they could get sick and end up dead, so there's really no hope whatsoever of getting people to cooperate with this.

I already know the correct response to being told you must enter a climate lockdown, and it's to start wildfires.
