Yeah but now I have to consider suicidal teenagers and climate change. I'll be lucky to live to 70, my (potential) kids, maybe 60, if the environment doesn't completely collapse.
- rdtwo 4y agoClimate change won’t affect you unless you are poor. If you are poor then being poor is a much more immediate problem.
- kelp 4y agoThe wildfire smoke every year impacts millions of people in the west. Just this summer I was watching the Mosquito fire updates daily to see if we were going to have to evacuate. Fortunately it rained and prevented that. There were days where we had to huddle in one room with multiple air filters going to keep the air breathable. Couldn't really go outside at all. The AQI outside was well over 500 for days at a time. Not poor, and I'd say we were pretty impacted by it.
