More chaos. Plus overall warming (which will ie rise ocean levels), which is again chaotic so it can even mean some local drops.

I think for many this is the limit of how they can/want to understand whats inevitably coming. More info causes many to zone out, move it quickly to mumbo-jumbo and seek another dopamine hit or some other cheap empty fun.

Like it or not, we need for regular Joe to care at least a bit and understand at least on surface why. If we wrap it in economy like many populists do, that battle is lost (which may be intentional on their part).

>More chaos.

Is it your opinion that climate change is universally bad? Language like "more chaos" make it sound that way: whatever changes happen are bad. I can't imagine that's the case. Some things will certainly be bad, and some not so much.

I dunno, the nihilism is creeping in. Why not buy that nice steak at the market today? The price of beef is only going to be higher next year. And so it goes.
