  No, lots of people did something. The problem is and was that there was a concerted effort by political figures, the ultra wealthy, corporations, uninformed people and people with outright malicious intent who pushed lies, misinformation, propaganda against the effort to prevent this, and it worked. The problem is it’s easier to break something, including a necessary collective effort, than it is to build something difficult to achieve. It’s easier to tear down than to build up, and that tearing down process is profitable for grifters with no morals, ethics, or shame. It’s easier for lazy people to go along with the denial those people demand for the grift to work.
context: TLDR: The National Weather Service (NWS) said the icy gusts on Mount Washington in New Hampshire on Friday produced a wind chill of -108F (-78C). >
  
  Imagine being a meteorologist stationed up there and witnessing that. -108F is just bonkers. >
  
  I used to work there and even in the summer it would snow at least once a year >
  
  High five for tuckerman's ravine. 🙌🤙 >
  
  I have had days with -40 windchill and it’s miserable, literally hurts to be outside. I can feel my cells struggling >
  
  That’s the coldest I’ve ever skied in and they closed the mountain for safety.  It was not enjoyable- bare skin hurt, the air was so dry that  it hurt to breathe deeply and tears froze. My daughter’s hair broke. >
  
  coldest for now.. seems just breaking new records for heat , flooding, cold >
  
  They're going to use this to argue that climate change isn't happening.
  Edit: there's a comment in here doing just that >
  
  "Hur dur what happened to global warming?" >
  
  There was a headline about how Greenland was getting more snow and they used that as an argument, ignoring that it was happening because temperatures were rising closer to 0°C >
  
  Meanwhile in my area we’ve yet to get any snow this winter, except for one day of flurries. Which is very odd for it already being February. When I was a kid it wasn’t rare to have some snowfall as early as October/November here (in the 90s), and I had many “white Christmas’s.”
  It’s been very mild all winter thus far aside from this weekend, where suddenly we had windchills as low as -22°F (-30°C). But no snow, still (rapidly went from too warm to too cold). >
  
  Every year it will be worse and worse. We were warned and we did nothing.
