    Colorado is going to survive climate change much better than Alabama will.

    Well, in some ways. Colorado is already subject to serious drought and water shortage issues; dramatically increased number of/size of/damage from wildfires; temps in excess of 105°f just like, it seems, everywhere else (though CO Springs is higher and cooler than the worst-affected areas of the state, temperature-wise); etc.

    Currently in CO Springs it is only 2 degrees (F) cooler than in Huntsville, AL. Humidity is only ~10 pts difference - otherwise yeah I’d say it’s more uncomfortable in AL. Though this is only a snapshot.

    I digress.

    Point is climate change is affecting (present tense, not future) different areas differently.

    You’re absolutely right about the social aspect tho.
