 @davidd.c.9344 The amount of greenhouse gas being produced per capita is much lower in poorer countries. It's wealthier countries that have are much more the problem.

So shouting "USA! USA! USA!" and invoking American exceptionalism doesn't make the United States immune from the impacts of climate change?

Even if half of Florida ends up under water far right climate change deniers will still insist that there is no human caused climate change - that it's just natural weather cycles that caused the flooding of Florida and Florida will be back above the sea before long. Trivia: There are no Florida insurance company people who have the luxury of pretending that climate change doesn't exist or if there are they will become bankrupt and extinct due to natural selection of insurance agents as climate change impacts increase in Florida.

It's sort of baffling as China is also building vast amounts of renewable energy capacity and all while its working age population has started to collapse in number. If China has 380 million fewer workers in 30 years what is it going to do with all that energy?

@AmonTheWitch So you're planning to live at the North Pole when it is nothing but a bit of sea water surrounded by lots of other sea water for part of the year? Strange choice. You can move to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean now if you like that sort of thing.

People have the belief that homes will need to be abandoned only when they are permanently and constantly flooded by the sea but once a home starts getting severely damaged once every 8 years by flooding people don't want to keep repairing homes that they know will get severely damaged again in another few years. And national governments definitely don't want to subsidize repairs to homes that will get severely damaged again in just a few years.
