Is "you're about to have a heart attack" real?
I don't know, but the things you'd do and the ways to offset the risk of heart attack are probably things that are generally good to do anyways. So personally I don't even care or worry about the outermost crisis.
The people who worry about it and get hysterical over it as though it's some hardcore interest of theirs, then go and eat meat and eat dairy and drive a car and live with a huge footprint.... are insane.
I'll put them below Keynesian but above radical SJW on the depth chart. (There's a lot of carryover though. A lot of the radical SJWs will also be the climate change hypocrites.)
The most insane part is that they think it's weird when you point out that they should change their behavior if they actually care about this. It's like if you say someone is on the ledge of a cliff and about to fall, and then think it's weird that I suggest you stop pushing.
"but mehmehmeh, don't worry about what I'm doing, did you see they pulled out of the treaty????"
What they're really into is just control. They're grubby people who love the idea of controlling and managing other peoples' lives and behaviors. And what better vehicle for that than a story line about the world exploding.
So it's kind of the same as the Keynesians being naturally drawn to theories about why a handful of bankers should have control of an economy's bloodstream. The theory matches their underlying desire to control and manipulate. The climate people are naturally anxious and happy to be hysterical about this, because that's the rationale for being busybodies.
So however real climate change is..... I don't know. Kind of boring stuff, and I feel like we'll be fine. And living in a way that's harmonious with the planet is good to do anyways, so it really doesn't even matter to me. I just base decisions on what seems healthiest and happiest and best to me.
But I do know that the people who talk about how much of a crisis it is are generally insane people.
If you actually care about the planet, you behave nicely to the planet before whining about what other people should do. You can't beat your wife and then expect anyone to take you seriously when you talk about all the treaties we should make to end wife beating.
