Climate Change is a perfect scapegoat. Inflation? Climate Change. Energy Shortage? Climate Change. Unemployment? Climate Change. Wealth Inequality? Climate Change. Draconian Measures to suppress social unrest? Climate Change. Capital Controls? Climate Change. Extreme Taxation? Climate Change. Failing Infrastructure? Climate Change.
It's much better scapegoat then the Jews, the capitalists, the burguasue, the kulaks that were popular last time around the system collapsed, because it's more complex, more abstract and timeless.

The people who think that Miami is going to be underwater don't realize that that's about _storms_, not sea level rise - which worst case is a few CMs a century. I'm deeply concerned about climate change re: food production and human health but it's a dream for political campaigns.
