No matter what — Harvey drowning Houston, Irma being the most powerful Atlantic hurricane in recorded history — there are and will be loads of people who deny and disavow climate change. No evidence will matter.

I know this because people literally die for stupid, wrong beliefs every day. The threat of death and imminent mortality has almost never caused anyone to change their ideology. Think climate change is different? I don’t.

Even after climate change submerges cities, destroys nations and lights off wars, a huge percentage of the population will deny it has occurred, will occur, or that it matters at all.

Humans aren’t capable of dealing with the society we’ve manged to build. Just aren’t. Maybe never will be.
