  I think people probably care quite a lot, actually. What’re you basing that statement off of?

    That this information is already readily available to the masses, and it hasn’t changed anyone’s behavior. It certainly appears that most people don’t care.

      I mean, it might seem that way but evidence suggests otherwise: undp.org/…/worlds-largest-survey-public-opinion-c…

      This is more likely evidence of the lack of awareness people have of data like this, rather than a disinterest in the topic. Just because it’s readily available, doesn’t mean people know about it. Also, don’t confuse a lack of interest in viewing data on air quality as a lack of interest in air quality itself. Those are not the same thing.
