> Who knew the Amish were right all along?

When the Amish said that modern technology destroys the family they weren't envisioning a climate catastrophe being the thing that destroyed the family.

I recently travelled to the primary old-order region of my country, where I hadn't been in about a decade, and all the horses in the fields I remember have now been replaced by tractors. Let's be real: They don't fear climate change any more than the average Joe does, possibly less having less exposure to the science and messaging. All they have ever feared was families being broken apart by the kids leaving for the big city lights.
