I was going to comment the same thing.
the non-obvious excess mortality from air pollution, extreme weather, cold & heat, add on effects of flooding, fire, draught etc are far worse.
But just as with covid, even when ones family starts getting sick there is still a significant chunk of people who just don't care or maybe psychologically their brains react and go into crazy mode.
What scares me most is how little we are doing and how little power it feels I have. IDK maybe start a constitutional amendment drive in liberal states for a binding green bill of rights and regulated emissions + capture. Focused only on climate not a liberal social dream.
I find it hard not to dive deep into /r/collapse type rabbit holes (which btw that sub is only like 10% good, 90% crazy people planning their bug out but they can't even run a mile lol).
I have been thinking lately of changing my few years housing goal. Wanted to get a stand alone house and rent my condo. But lately have been looking online at high elevation property in the mountains. would try to be totally self sufficient. But I think growing enough food to live up there long-term would be really tough (colorado).
