You're not going to see a sudden tsunami and *BOOM* flooding and global warming. The changes will be subtle and non-obvious ways. The first will be home value and insurance prices. This will ripple to local and state level short comings and tax increases for everyone. A simple 1% drain on an local/state/federal government for infrastructure mitigation will have wide reaching consequences to the ability to counteract other emergencies in the future.
Now, don't bother believing all those pesky "scientists" who get all of that fancy book learnin'. Follow the money. The insurance companies believe in the sea level rise. Ask some who lives on the coast. The military believes in the sea level rise. Many ocean facing bases are having sea walls and drainage upgraded.
But you all know better than the specialists because "I'm a Pilot"
So let's look at the key points of the thread:
Wealth Distribution (Meaning SOCIALISM [so scary])
16 year old hurt my feelings/made me clutch my pearls
Russia/China Conspiracy
Something Something… Al Gore
Science isn't real
Trust the Russian government propaganda more than science
Unproven Nuclear theories
Dey Gunna Take our Planez!!1!1 (gunz)
Active Cognitive Dissonance
LIBURALZ!!
Too much consensus is bad because, reasons
Cow farts
No, YOU'RE a Flat Earther!!
But it's cold outside...
But the dinosaurs....
I need someone to say something about Tesla, polar bears and gay frogs so I can finish my BINGO card.

The Cold War era and far right wing followers still eating it up 60 years later.
Yes, most of us are ok with socialism in some form or another. Public schools are a socialist concept. Care to Guess who invented the idea of workers unions such as ALPA? Carl Marx did.
But again, this is not a petty political question. Global warming doesn’t care about polarized U.S. politics or if you regard “socialism” as a poo poo word.

Karl Marx is spelled with a K, as in ?German, not C as in English. And, he didn’t invent unions, look up trade guilds, Robert Owen, and London Trades Council.

State provides many forms of social insurance—generously funded college, state funding or provision of health care, child care. Many of these services are funded/sourced thru joint private/public measures.

Regardless of the above its time we as a country start realizing that socialism and capitalism are two complementary theories. One cannot succeed without the other. Some things must be state/federally owned and others must be left to operate in the capitalist domain. We as a people need to agree or at least acquiesce to a bias and decide which sector is appropriate for which domain.
That being said global warming is one of those things which cannot be left to the capitalist/free market domain for obvious reasons. Clearly we must be on the lookout for opportunism in politicians on both sides of the fence but for gods sakes don't stick your head in the sand and pretend that there isn't a problem and mans effect on climate change is all made up.

Yes, folks, inside every democratic socialist is totalitarian screaming to get out. The gist is “order your life out way or it’s the gulag for you.
Until there’s a world government, climate change, which is likely real to some extent, will be dealt with old fashioned way—adaptation and muddle through.
When Jane Fonda leaves jail and does NOT return to 7,000 square foot house: when DiCaprio does NOT rent a 500’ yacht; when Bloomberg spends his weekends in NYC; when Obama sells his $12 million dollars ocean front house at a huge loss and moves into public housing in Chicago; when to corporate jet ramps at TEB, ASE and PBI are empty; when Xi and Modi tell their 2.4 billion citizens poverty is their future; then I’ll believe the hoopla. Until then, I’ll continue my mantra: not to believe anything I hear and half of what I see.
