It does seem like certain topics in society don't get people's attention. For example, climate change. Of course it's gotten the attention of a core group of people (e.g., scientists, activists, most liberals, etc.), but it seems to fly under their radar for the masses.
I presume one major reason is because of the mitigating forces against noticing the issue, particularly big corporations who think dealing with climate change would be bad for the bottom line.
It will be interesting when the bulk of society does catch on. It will probably be a mixture of reasons given for why they didn't respond earlier: "it was because the liberals didn't give us the real facts," "well, it's not too late, really," and "it's not because of big business, they didn't cause this."
I'm rambling, but I think I'm on the right track.
