We'll say it again, for the people in the back: it doesn't matter whether you believe in potentially lethal threats or not.
They'll still kill you. And if you ignore them and pretend they don't exist, they'll usually kill you much, much faster than if you were actively trying to mitigate them.
These same morons chose to mass die of Covid. They will again in the next pandemic. And they will of climate change. Unless we organize and start electing people who pass climate laws pretty quickly.
Listen, and understand. Those climate change denying NPCs are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they will absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
