A lot of this is just a difference in topics for conversations - local/global. See: us talking here about a Singapore dating app, when likely neither of us two is in Singapore and at least one is already married. On the other hand, people in my circle are worried about the climate change concerns and we're aware of that... but it's not often a topic of conversation. It's not the concern that's amplified, just the topic is more frequent. But it doesn't mean I'm not seriously worried about my kid having to migrate in later life due to local agriculture becoming not viable at scale, one of the dumb wars turning into ww3, or just dying due to one of the current climate effects turning into a feedback loop that we can't survive within the next few generations.
