Religion is the opium of the masses.

    It'll be like COVID: "That'll happen to someone else", and then when they're broiling to death the last words out of their mouth will be "This can't be happening to me!"

      100% what I'm expecting. To the average hog climate change (if they even think it's real) is something that happens to the browns and poors, something they see on tv happening to others. Any preparations they make (again, if they even think climate change is real) will be stockpiling guns and ammo, dreaming about the time they can live out their apocalyptic dreams of indiscriminate murder.

        Ah, that reminds me: since a lot of the areas that will be hit hard in the near future (Indonesia, Pakistan/India, the middle east) will be predominantly non-white, there'll also be a lot of evangelicals saying that all those people dying are receiving punishment from god, as we saw with Katrina and AIDS.

          yea

          God climate change is a perfect storm that's bringing unimaginable pain and suffering, and of fucking course the people getting the worst of it are the ones that have been brutaly exploited for centuries and whose oppressors are the ones responsible for climate change in the first place
