The obvious difference here is that people fear that coronavirus is going to kill *them*, but they believe that climate change is going to kill millions of *other people*.
I think this difference presents 2 challenges for the climate movement. We must:
1) show people that climate change actually does threaten the lives of everyone under the age of 30
2) use shaming to make climate action a social norm, whether people feel obligated to help or not

I would also argue that fewer people than you think actually believe in the first place that climate change will kill millions of other people, even if they know that climate change is real.
I mean, have you ever heard a scientist really say such a thing flat out? In the media?
