climate change isn't really notable when talking about average warming. The real damage is the movement of water and the transfer of energy from clouds to rain, where places will quickly dry up and if they do get rain, it will be in flash floods preventing much storage to occur in lakes or aquifers. And it takes a significant amount of science to predict and model this ahead of time and it's so statistically patterned, that the ignorance steming from so many of the power structures that society is self destructing.

I wonder what the narrative will be when the effects of climate change are undeniable. "We couldn't have done anything about it anyway" or "well, the left wasn't convincing enough" or "it's natural climate change it was always going to happen"
