Israelis think they're immune to this shit because they've been so heavily propagandized on the "Making the Desert Bloom" shit. None of the proles realize how fucking energy intensive and how much waste desalinization actually produces. And nobody at the top cares about anything except packing as many new Israelis into the settlements as possible.
There's a special irony in it all, as Israel's in the hot zone. Neighboring Jordan clocked 113 °F this year. Even Jerusalem, a low-altitude and historically cooler city, reached 95 °F. The country was full of brush fires all through the summer. There's a real reason to suspect that the Oct 7th revolt was fueled by Palestinians simply seeking to escape the extreme weather conditions in Gaza. And even before the revolt, you had Israelis abandoning the settlements in favor of cooler climes.
Even if you can just ignore climate change, you can't ignore all its knock-on effects.
