Anyone who denies that climate change had a role in the recent California fires does not understand how climate change works and also fails to comprehend that they too will be affected inevitably in the end — perhaps not so devastatingly, but the likelihood of negative outcomes increases greatly when the climate has been destabilized.

I know, it’s hard to change. It’s scary. Status quo bias is one of the strongest human tendencies. And the left has pushed some horrendously bad ideas that should be opposed, such as austerity and degrowth. But you should be opposing these ideas and not the obvious truth that the climate is changing, and not for the better for most of humanity.

In the end, like gravity, it simply does not matter if you believe in climate change or not. Because it believes in you.
