There is a virus, unlike Covid-19, that focuses on slowly attacking and deteriorating the surrounding ecosystems of all human beings. Its secondary effect is already catching up to people in many parts of the world, but it will eventually affect everyone if we don’t do anything to stop it. The “CC virus” or most commonly known as "Climate Change” has been around for more than 3 decades, but why are we not doing anything to stop it?
Recently the world seems to move a whole lot faster than it usually does. But, at the same time, we seem to be standing completely still. This is a sensation experienced in shared fashion across the globe right now in the shadow of the infamous coronavirus (COVID-19), which suddenly and shockingly gripped our usual way of life and picked it apart. Everyone was impacted, and straying away from frequent news broadcasts and conversations about the virus proved to be an impossible task, often driving us up the wall in despair and confusion. There is a current day phenomenon that shares similar traits with the coronavirus, albeit a much slower process: climate change.

How would it feel to be in control of human decisions and forces of nature that lead to carbon pollution and other impacts on the environment?
