Yes! In this respect, nothing can sum up the quandary better than an exchange between Emmanuel Macron and a "gilet jaune" during a visit of the French president on one of the "barricades" erected by the gilets jaunes.
EM explained the challenge of climate change and one of them replied (en francais dans le texte)

Vous me parlez de "la fin du monde". Moi, je vous parle de la fin du mois !

(You are telling me about the end of the world. I in turn am talking about making ends meet!)
