There are thousands of genuinely genius level people buying beach front properties, and climate change isn't that hard of a concept to grasp, even school children get it. And that is exactly the reason why I'm asking what I'm asking, are we all just living in a delusion, waiting and hoping for something to fix stuff and we avoid catastrophe? Nobody is asking how are we going to evacuate the entire population of Bangladesh because that might become a reality in a lifetime, nor are they asking what will happen to my ten million beach front property if the sea level and weather patterns actually get so bad that it's either washed away or just basically worthless because nobody will buy a property in a disaster zone.But looks like everybody hates this question.

2. There are billions of christians and muslims. Both are foolish superstitions with no evidential support whatsoever. Lots of people believe foolish lies; number of believers is not even loosely correlated with truth.
> Nobody is asking how are we going to evacuate the entire population of Bangladesh
Yes they are, and the real answer is "you don't, and they die."
> what will happen to my ten million beach front property
Yes they are, and the answer is it will be destroyed. But millions play the lottery, although only the companies running lottery always make a profit. Millions commit petty crimes, because everyone tends to think the bad stuff (getting caught) won't happen to them, but the good stuff (winning the lottery) will. Millions smoke, although once addicted it's not very pleasurable any more but it is expensive.
People like and choose to believe comforting lies, but they hate facing uncomfortable truths.
This is not a big revelation. It is not a profound insight and it doesn't prove anything much.
> But looks like everybody hates this question.
A lot of people hate foolish, pointless questions. Perhaps that is what you're missing here.
