HaHa! Yes, music_collector, we Brits will have to chuck out the umbrella and bowler hat and find a new stereotype.
On this CNN news clip, the title "lashes out" is a bit of click-bait exaggeration, but in other respects the clip seems to be quite a good summary of (i) where we are now with climate change and (ii) our attitude to being in this situation.
Sorry to be so depressing, but I suppose my attitude is similar to the meteorologists: "Stay worried, people, it's only going to get worse"
