It is wrong, people don’t like to talk about climate change but it staring us right in the face. People focus too much on the global warming aspect of climate change when warming is only one facet, with climate change comes bizarre weather patterns. We got no snow, Buffalo sees dozens of deaths from 8 foot snow drifts. Europe and China suffer drought leading to Sirius crop losses this year, Pakistan gets hit with so much rain that a third of the country was underwater. For reference an area the size of Texas or France since they’re roughly equivalent flooded in Pakistan. The Colorado river is almost dry and the US had serious crop losses all throughout the Midwest because of extreme heat and drought. Strap in, it’s going to get worse.

My theory is that for some people, the reality of devastation that climate change can (and will) cause is so frightening that it’s just easier to kid themselves that it’s a good thing. Denial is super powerful and it’s a lot easier to swallow than the impending destruction of society as we know it.
