Why the coalitions lurch to the right is bad for the climate?

The coalitions lurching to the right means climate action is being ignored, like a kid who forgets to water their plants every day.

Imagine you have a big garden full of flowers, and they need regular watering to grow strong. You promise yourself you’ll water them every morning, but then one day, you sleep in, and you skip it. The next day, you do it again. Soon, your flowers start to look sad and weak because they don’t get the care they need.

That’s what happens when climate action is ignored, the Earth starts to feel the effects of not being taken care of properly. Just like the flowers need water, our planet needs protection from things like pollution and too much heat.

What does "lurching to the right" mean?

When a group of people in power (like politicians) lurch to the right, it usually means they focus more on making money or keeping things the way they are, instead of thinking about how to help the Earth stay healthy for everyone, including you and your friends.

So, if we keep ignoring climate action, our planet might get even sadder, like a garden that never gets watered again.
