Chaim Amalek: “Concern over climate change is a rich man’s game. If you are worried about your job, paying for health care, paying the rent etc. there is not much space left over for worrying about how climate change may affect the lives of poor(er) people thousands of miles away 80 years hence, or the rich closer at hand who own beachfront property.”
“Also, concern over climate change is often a means of signaling one’s social status. In short, it often is a social affectation, like donating money to the ACLU or (if you are White – do Asians do this?) to the NAACP.”
