I’m worried this will only fuel the climate change deniers.
My most recent one said: “It isn’t proven that it will affect us humans negatively”. Dude we’re in the 6th mass extinction… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
It will probably go the way COVID deniers did. If you do too much and prevent it altogether, people won't believe you or say you overreacted. If you don't do enough, people will complain that you're not doing your job.
sysadmins in a nutshell
fuel the climate change deniers
they will always do that anyway, otherwise they wouldnt still be deniers.
we can always punch them in the face.
Maybe, like COVID, the deniers will die first. Then the rest of us can get on with saving our asses.
Unfortunately, that's not generally the case. Everyone is affected, in particular also the ecosystems that support our lives.
And we're seeing disproportionate effects in poorer countries, because those cannot afford AC, isolated housing or rebuilding from the increased flood, storms, forest fires etc. that are already taking place.There is some things one can do when recognizing the changing climate, like:
- selling your beachfront property,
- moving into colder regions,
- selecting crops that can deal with the harsher weather,
- ensuring a flood can seep away in your city,
- planting trees to provide shade + the cooling effect of evaporation + hindrance for storms.
But yeah, it's still going to be a wild ride for everyone.
Just like COVID, it's going to be poor people who will die first/are already dying
