One beautiful thing about science is that it doesn’t really matter if you believe in it or not. It’s based on the seeking of truth using a proven method. Those who ignore climate change will suffer, especially those who are poor and uneducated. Luckily, this knowledge is not hard to find these days, and I suspect the youth of the coming generations will take a different outlook of climate change, one irrespective of political belief. At a certain point if you want to continue living your life, you need to accept the facts and vote for positive change. Whether that comes from a blue person or a red person loses its meaning when the world around us burns.

“Smart people won’t suffer from climate change because they believe in it” is a pretty wild argument.
That’s not my argument. Poor people will suffer more by numbers. Poor people are also less educated by numbers. Those with money can move to avoid the soonest impacts, can pay for AC, can pay for rising food prices, etc.
in this case everyone will suffer
