    Do these people not know they are going to cook right along with us? A big pile of money isn’t going to save them either.

      The only thing that makes sense is that they honestly DO believe a big pile of money will save them. Their big pile of money has been getting them out of trouble their whole lives, why would they expect it to all of a sudden stop working in this case? They’re wrong, but they don’t know that (yet).

      I mean realistically speaking the vast majority of the effects of climate change in our or even our children’s lifetimes are going to most dramatically affect developing nations by far.

      Like yeah, by and large the people with AC in almost every home in the country are gonna be fine lol. Places where there’s already problems with getting everyone clean drinking water? Not so much.

          THIS is unfortunately not true.

          Those that wrought it will not feel its effects.

        Depends on how fast climate breakdown occurs. It seems to be happening faster than predicted.
