And besides that, we are the group of people who have the best chance to see the bigger picture due to our good life's.its not helping me if I know that the person in china has air pollution and other issues and is busy with there also stressful life's and is too busy to see climate change
Also while I care about bio diversity there are plenty of people who don't.
Should I now stop caring? Probably not.
The person so worse off may not be so far away as you imagine.
When we were in Iran I met people who are open and modern and like everyone else I know.
But then you have plenty of people who wash there close in the river, are highly religios etc.
Also, I don't think it's true. Most people don't want improved material circumstances as much as they want dignity and peace of mind. Yes, most people in the world are objectively poor and would benefit a lot from having more money; still, the idea that people are obsessed with material gain or envy is endemic to the West under capitalism but not universal. They would not "trade lives". It's the same as with refugee crises and mass migration--they don't want to leave their homelands and families, but have no other choice.
