    Maybe, like COVID, the deniers will die first. Then the rest of us can get on with saving our asses.

      Unfortunately, that’s not generally the case. Everyone is affected, in particular also the ecosystems that support our lives.
      And we’re seeing disproportionate effects in poorer countries, because those cannot afford AC, isolated housing or rebuilding from the increased flood, storms, forest fires etc. that are already taking place.

      There is some things one can do when recognizing the changing climate, like:

      • selling your beachfront property,
      • moving into colder regions,
      • selecting crops that can deal with the harsher weather,
      • ensuring a flood can seep away in your city,
      • planting trees to provide shade + the cooling effect of evaporation + hindrance for storms.

      But yeah, it’s still going to be a wild ride for everyone.
