Do you know what a changing climate does to the needs of the people?
I mean, obviously, natural disasters like severe weather impact the needs of the people. Look at the last two hurricanes in the US south or the wildfires out west. Death, injuries, lives disrupted, houses and businesses destroy or damaged, links in supply chains shattered.
Imagine what happens to populated areas that, hypothetically, get hit repeatedly by this for a few years. Many in Florida can’t find home insurance already. Eventually they’ll have to leave and go… where? If this happens repeatedly in poorer neighboring countries? What if sea levels actually rise and wipe out coastal cities? Massive migration, climate refugees, regional instability. It gets too hot for a good crop yield or rainfall patterns change and we get less fresh water? Food and water scarcity, death and starvation… the needs of people can’t be met.
Thr planet? It’ll likely be fine in a few million years. We won’t be.
Well the problem really comes when instead of a tornado surprising you in the nearest Walmart parking lot late evening, it instead decides to stop by where ever you happen to be and generally just fuck everything you own. In bad cases it’ll break a bone or two just to teach you a lesson.
One big thing Democrats do that marks them as elites is they consistently prioritize the climate over the needs of people.
People come second in their rhetoric.

Brain dead take
I don’t know about you, but I live in the climate.
Don’t worry, they said they will move us out of the environment.
I get what you’re trying to say, but not being killed by a tornado tends to count among the needs of the people.
But if I get taken out by a tornado I don’t have to worry about medical debt.
Well the problem really comes when instead of a tornado surprising you in the nearest Walmart parking lot late evening, it instead decides to stop by where ever you happen to be and generally just fuck everything you own. In bad cases it’ll break a bone or two just to teach you a lesson.
Good luck with recovery after that beating.
