    Oh man, I’m sure it’ll spur some change this time.

    The general populace and politicians aren’t going to take climate seriously until we get sea level rise overtaking major coastal metros and causing internal (and external) refugee crises, and by that point it’ll be too late. It’s kinda like if smoking didn’t hurt you, but your grandkids or great grandkids, and the effects were just nebulous enough for the alt right to suggest that it’s actually because of a big gay Jewish conspiracy.
