    I mean, I feel like this year in particular illustrates quite well that there are already very real impacts of climate change in rich countries, with Canada, Greece, Hawaii etc. burning. Which makes it worth to delay climate change as much as possible, even if we can’t or don’t want to stop it at livable levels.

      Problem is also that there have always been catastrophes… Earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.

      Maybe in the past they should have also been attributed to climate change, but I don’t think the average human being can draw the distinction yet

        considering the massive heat domes spread worldwide, I suspect the average human has been more impacted than you have.

        Brazil had a scorcher of a winter. Antarctica is falling apart much faster than anyone predicted.
