You Probably Won’t Die of Climate Change

I don’t know anything about this young lady other that she’s English-speaking, and that she has enough time to herself to spend some of it protesting our civilization’s disgusting disregard for the existential threat that climate change represents.

And because of that, I can say that the probability that she will “die of climate change” is actually quite small.

Sure, if she happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, she could be swept away in a flood or torn to shreds in a tornado.  But well-off Americans, at least for the foreseeable lifetime of 20-something, are not going to die of starvation from desertification, dehydration, or some disease like dengue fever, carried by the proliferation of mosquitos.

They won’t drown as their homelands go underwater due to sea-level rise, nor will their sources of protein cease to exist because of ocean acidification.

Btw, the link above comes from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an American scientific institution headquartered in Atlanta that is slated to be wiped off the face of the Earth.  I advise anyone interested in learning more about the things like epidemiology to do so now, before Trump/Musk makes the pursuit of such knowledge impossible.
