Believing in climate change doesn't mean you are preparing for climate change

Summary: Researchers found that although coastal homeowners may perceive a worsening of climate change-related hazards, these attitudes are largely unrelated to a homeowner's expectations of actual home damage.

That depends on the home owner.   In Los Angeles, particularly in affluent heavily republican leaning coastal communities in orange county where public climate change denial seems to be prescribed in holy writ, houses near the cost but at an elevation above sea level an impressive multiple of the worse estimate of sea level rises in price in direct proportion to the fall in prices of houses near sea level.    Much of the demand for houses above the reach of rising sea level came from the very same wealthy people who are selling houses projected to be within reach of rising sea levels to move to hiring ground while publicly denying the reality of climate change and sea level rise.

It does seem very much like wealthy people who have the means to mitigate the effect of climate change on their them individually are not only taking steps, but taking exaggerated steps,  to protect themselves,  but that the same time publicly disputing the reality of climate change so as to not come under pressure to chip in to help those who do not have the means to mitigate the personal effects of climate change.

Hey, who needs team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, the International Monetary Fund, the University of Southern California and the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan when there's Anomalocaris.


Btw someone made a report on what I was talking about earlier: war of plastics vs life

How to get rid of plastic garbage

While thinking that Greta crossed the ocean on a sailing vessel, it should be nice to keep in mind that the carbon foot print of maritime transportation can just be reduced and stopping it is not an option. That is if no new technology comes along the way.
But maybe you guys know of something that can bring that number to 0?

You can swim and pull an inflatable beach toy behind you to carry world commerce.

Perhaps it could be carbon neutral if ships used artificially made ethanol in a process I mentioned on previous page (about the Sahara). For instance these private space companies apparently launch their methane rockets by creating their own methane by using electricity from solar panels and then sucking carbon out of air and mix it with hydrogen.

And when it comes to plastic waste, this is something that big oil companies (Exxon, Shell) who are responsible for it should deal with, like building incinerators or electrical arc gasifiers, at least by using money they save from not paying taxes. That's why they need to be pushed by politicians or taxed.

Recently, Jane Fonda gave a nice speech about Green New Deal. And I also like the chant from the 4th speaker: "Corporate scum, here we come!"
