    Well, yes, but the individuals involved are not the main point here. The point is the earth is getting hotter really quickly and humanity needs to pull it’s head out of its ass and stop causing it.

    As this trend continues we’re going to see more and more situations where previously safe choices have suddenly become unsafe and situations where there are no safe choices. Focussing on individual “bad choices” by people in developing countries is, sorry, idiotic and tragic.

    Climate change will eventually affect you or someone you care about and when it does there will be some dufus on the internet going “duh, shouldn’t have bought a house in tornado alley” or “don’t drive through floodwaters, fool” as if it was your fault. Maybe then you’ll remember this post but probably not.
