Yup. All of this.

It’s much more shortsighted to ignore climate change and delay the huge issues we need to tackle to avoid horrific and (yes!) costly outcomes down the line:

relocation of 100 of millions of people due to rising sea levels, more extreme weather making other parts of the world uninhabitable, thus even more climate…
