People open their big mouths all the time and spew garbage. You can test someone's true beliefs by making them put money down. If they are willing to bet their money on an outcome, then they truly believe it. That isn't occurring with assets that might be greatly affected by "climate change". If people really believed climate change was real, and that sea levels would rise as a result, then that would definitely affect the price of oceanfront properties around the world.
If climate change were being take seriously by anyone in power, the following things would be occurring
Due to the inevitable rising sea level insurance companies would stop insuring coastal properties. Is this happening? Nope, just a bunch of TALK (that's all climate change is). Insurance companies haven't change their rates.
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-the-insurance-industry-is-dealing-with-climate-change-52218/Oceanfront property values would be plumetting. Why? Because if the house is going to be underwater in 12 years (according to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez) this real estate will become worthless
So, climate change is not really believed by people. It's just something the broke and ignorant yap about because they don't have enough real problems in their lives.
Nice approach.
BUT I think I have an answer to this argument.
If I want to sell a piece of land in the coast it doesn't matter if I overpriced it because the problems are not going to be seen till 12 years in the future.
If I had buy an overpriced land in the coast I have 12 years to recover my investment and do a profit (must of that groups can recover their investment in fewer years...), and when the problems arrive I can take my insurance and ask the governments some fine because of my lost (as many, many governments do....)
If I'm an insurance company, maybe in 12 years I will not exist.... Or maybe I can be charged with a minimal penalty fee...
Ocean level is just one of the problems of global warming.
