    This is still blind to the fact that those families could be in much much worse condition in 50 years if we don’t drastically change our carbon emissions. The increasingly frequent and more dangerous natural disasters could very easily leave them without a home at all. Low income families will also be the ones to suffer the most when it comes to the worsening climate disaster

      I don’t deny that. However, forcing people to change by making things more expensive only harms these families. Of course, the ongoing climate situation is concerning, but in the short term, we also need to take care of those who are financially vulnerable. We can’t just let them go under.
