So let me get this straight. The climate emergency will devastate crops all over the world, render parts of it simply unlivable, but you believe that Americans, with their "very, very different psyches" and the "culture of the US", will simply band together, "rich or poor", and "live in safety"? If it weren't the case that people with the same false-to-the-fact beliefs were setting policy through America, your beliefs could simply be ignored by the polite, but as it is, it's simply tragic and rather horrifying.

Yes, I'm very much pointing to the reasoning why the logical argument to think and do something about climate change is not heard in these areas, and specifically with the US leadership. Every culture has their myths, so I encourage you to learn about the Cajun Navy (just one of the many from the gulf region). Making a change requires acknowledging and accepting that many of the US populace will not respond well to the incredulity of their direct lives.

The ongoing pandemic demonstrates that we have neither US Government preparation nor grassroots social organization to be resilient in the face of crisis. At least we have enough military firepower to shoot at a problem. That side of national risk management is well funded.
