Climate change and the pandemic are very similar processes. The are both extreme events that are easy to predict existentially (yes both will happen) but hard to specify exactly when they will unfold. They are both theoretically preventable, but require initial economic damage very early on to do so. Both cause major systemic economic damage, with long lasting consequences.
But pandemic is milder in every imaginable way. Pandemic has more immediate evidence that it is happening, it can be dealt with in a much shorter time span (months rather than years or decades), the total economic damage is far less, and the time to recovery from the pandemic is less (it might take years but climate change will take much longer to adapt to).
So in every major way pandemic is a toy exercise for how to handle climate change and we are failing that test spectacularly and still the response to climate changes is largely "don't worry, we'll figure it out, we have time and solutions..."
As the economic damage from this starts to really unfold remember that this is the change in our way of life to get 8% So imagine the change in life style and economic damage required to get to 75%, and then keep in mind that that is still preferable to the economic damage we will likely see from a +2 C global warming.
I suspect climate change discussions will die down after the pandemic because it's to much to really face the reality of what it will mean. People want to return to normal, spend money and co2 again.
