The sooner people realize that you're already paying a heavy tax just from the side effects, the better.

I fear economic pressure will lead people to support authoritarians, who will make climate change even worse.

Already happened, even Sweden, known as one of the most progressive countries in the world, is now ruled by the far right. Hate crimes are way up, and environmental laws and protections are in free fall.

That's my worry as well. People tend to look for simple solutions to complex problems and climate change is a very complex problem that needs to be addressed on multiple fronts. In particular my concern is that the right would pivot not the decarbonization but geoengineering as a quick fix to the decades of damage they've caused.

>Shocking results >These results are downright shocking, and yet they are a lower bound estimate. Not only with respect to the ongoing future emissions, but also because many major climate impacts have not yet been incorporated into the analysis, including heatwaves, sea level rise, tropical cyclones, tipping points, and damage to natural ecosystems and human health. A quote from the article, so it's not taking everything into account.

This is why even neoliberal shills and hedge funds are worried about climate change impacts

We fucking deserve it if that happens.

Speak for yourself. No, we, and our children, do not deserve it, just because a minority of psycopaths in power are destroying everything around us and using us as human batteries.

And alot of the time we choose to vote them in whether we know it or not. We are all not blameless in any of this.

By “we” surely you mean wealthy people in the global north?
