Those who still peddle climate denialism are either shills or fools.

Their rejection of the need for climate action is not rooted in a denial of the science, but in the conviction that their wealth can insulate them and that the most devastating costs will be borne by others less fortunate—both nations and individuals.

To them I say – You are wrong.

Taxes and insurance premiums will skyrocket to rebuild infrastructure shattered by storms and fires or infrastructure will degrade into ruins. Wars over dwindling resources will consume the globe creating waves of mass migration of desperate people. Exploding poverty and deprivation will fuel crime and civil unrest. Your desire for security will have you cowering behind gated walls.

Fascist governments will systematically dismantle individual rights, including yours. You will have to navigate the entrenched corruption that fascism breeds.

For what you have wrought, your children will rightly despise you and, any vestige of humanity you retain will drive you into a sea of self-loathing.
