Human want to act when needed

After reading the article it became very clear to me that humanity only helps when help is needed. In regards to the global warming issue, the article talks about how different groups believe different things. The awareness and fight against global warming comes down to either a political or financial matter. It is often believed that one who is a collectivist (Someone who cares about others) is more prone to care about the issue of global warming, because it affects others. I find that to be very unsurprising. In any case, most groups care about no one but either themselves or their money (i.e. the government). I think that the only way to combat Global warming is to actually stop worrying about our own well being (and our wallets) and work towards the greater good.
