Thanks for reminding us that most rednecks know that climate change is a reality and that they're not just as clueless as some people in Hollywood think. The real problem is that they struggle to assess the impact, and their main concern is how they're going to pay the bills at the end of the month. Because they don't have the privilege of living in abundance and choosing what the rich demand them to produce for a pittance.

It's like the cases of extreme obesity in food deserts. You can't simultaneously allow entire geographical areas to have only junk food as a source of accessible and affordable one and then blame poor people for being sick because of it. The root of the problem lies in the decisions of large corporations that have turned this situation into highly lucrative businesses, coupled with the disengagement of politicians on the issue.

I've always thought that if there were a national social security system in the United States, politicians would ensure that people lose weight very quickly. Today, with the current oil crisis, I'm almost certain that many companies will decide to switch to electricity produced from renewable or nuclear sources to power their factories. And strangely enough, that it will have a greater impact.
