One of the biggest lies is that these events will only happen (or will happen first) to the "global south" and only affect the "other peoples".

Unfortunately for us, the Earth has no preferences and doesn't run on our schedule.

I don't know where you live or where you heard that but it is not a lie that was told in france at least. If you want a "lie", it was how far in the future that was going to happen, but that's mostly because the deniers got control of the messaging for a long time.

Here is the image/tweet that will live on for a long while regarding the accelerated timeline.

I know it's a cold and cynical take, but if it has to happen somewhere, better for it to happen in Europe, the US, or other developed countries. These countries can at least do something to keep climate crisis from getting worse. (Or... more realistically, to keep it from getting worse too fast.)

Too keep it from killing too many people too fast, anyway.

on average, 240k acres burn every year in Spain. this is somewhat larger, but not abnormal. it's just near people this time.

I guess I need a disclaimer on every comment that says "climate change is obviously real you can save your downvotes"
