We can't afford to be the frog waiting to boil
There's an urban legend that says if a frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.
The legend works as a handy metaphor, describing the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of sinister threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly. It's a metaphor commonly used to explain our response to climate change and global warming.
