Russians have a clearly distinct future tense and clearly don't give a shit about the environment. But I still not persuaded that the correlation is there, the data is too big-grained.

And tangential, but I loved the "continue without agreeing" button, that is what I miss in GDPR popups.

That's what the article claims, though. It says that speakers of languages without a future tense care about the environment.
