Climate change, though of course a potential issue, isn’t particularly a bad vibes factor for me, but one thing that always succeeds in making me feel a little irritated is how, when people take action against climate change, they always do it in the countries that are already fairly good about keeping the air healthy, and it’s the countries that really need it that have no active movements. The reason Los Angeles air used to be stereotypically dirty is there was so much smog in China that there was enough of it for some of it to blow over. China is still a mess with air pollution, but I only hear the climate change activists taking it out on the English speaking nations.

Plus Europe, at least in most nations
Would be funny though, if it were somehow dependent on language: “Scusi, cos’è l’inquinamento?”
But it’s not ‘us’ vs ‘them’. Mind we let the chinese manufacture our stuff. They pollute the air by proxy. To mass-produce our goods.
