Quote by Jeff Goodell
One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
Summary
This quote draws an analogy between humans and frogs in a pot to emphasize our lack of awareness and action in the face of the impending danger of climate change. Like a frog in a pot of slowly increasing heat, we are often complacent and comfortable with the gradual changes happening around us. Despite the escalating threat of climate change, we, as humans, often fail to recognize the urgency and fail to take the necessary steps to mitigate its effects, just like the frog enjoying a warm bath until it's too late. The quote serves as a warning against our collective inaction and calls for immediate action to address the issue.
