If you have the resources to survive and to move when climate changes create problems you might be okay or not. But, if you don't have enough of an education it is more likely you won't see what is coming soon enough to survive it.
The Bahamas are a perfect example of this. If you study what happened here to thousands of people, what they did killed them because they didn't go somewhere else during this hurricane and this killed them. It's true they didn't have the resources very often and this killed them too.
But, in microcosm we see how thousands now and millions later this century are going to die basically from ignorance and a lack of resources to survive whatever is coming. Because the Bahamas in some ways is the future of most places on earth regarding storms of one kind or another killing people who don't have the resources or knowledge to know what to do to survive these sorts of things.
There is really NOTHING people can do to slow down climate change for at least 300 to 500 years at this point even if every animal and human were dead on earth right now. This might be the single most important thing to know about climate change right here. IF everyone were dead (including all living things except plants) climate change would continue at this pace unabated for 300 to 500 years before it started to abate.
So then, tell me what people can actually do to help themselves right now? Actually nothing is going to slow it down right now at all no matter what people do at this point.
The real problem is that most people don't understand this one fact at this point on earth.
IF you add to this problem the fact that just Trump removing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords will kill 1 to 4 or more billion people this century you begin to see the problem in a more holistic way ongoing.
But, if people do nothing at all now no one will be alive on earth that breathes within 300 to 500 years at all.
And this is true too.
