I lived in the San Fernando valley(suburbs) from the 50s to the 70s
we had smog days where we stayed home from school
the Santa Anna winds blew through every year along with the annual wildfires
city of Los Angles and county encompasses 4,083 square miles

None of us can point to a single thing in our personal day to day lives that has changed due to mankind’s impact on the climate.

I’m 63 and have been camping on the same spring fed river in Southern Missouri for 40 years. My brother and I rode bikes and camped next to the river right before Halloween. It’s a protected watershed area so there’s no farming or cattle nearby. Other than the river cutting a new channel now and then,it’s the same now as first I saw it in early 80s.

So don’t try to convince me climate change is an existential threat. If it were, I’d easily see evidence but I see nothing and neither do you.

What are the primary natural driving forces behind the making of the climate we experience on earth ?
They are the sun, earths travel around the sun, rotation of the earth, and in a passive role, the oceans.
The planet is heated & cooled + the air is swirled + evaporation takes place = weather.
Look at the planet as a whole, like from the moon, and you see the entire atmosphere with clear and clouded areas, high and low pressure areas, stormy and calm, and it’s all in constant movement, and none of that is under our control.  What we can do personally is prepare to deal with weather.
It’s just common sense for us to do things to protect ourselves, like door locks, or insurance, or efforts to prevent a fire inside our house, and outside our house.  To do otherwise is just plain foolish.

Perhaps all those houses in CA,
If they had steel roofs ?

Not a requirement, yet a lot of ‘Common Sense’.
In Northern MN, in the woods, there are Shanties, Mansions, and in-between.

Most are in forested area, with a lake or river close/nearby.

Most have Steel roofs, and ‘bear mats’.
Many have a pipe going over the roof, with sprinklers.
Which is attached to a large pump,
Which has a pipe going to a lake/river,

Generally speaking weather patterns go through 10, 50 & 100 weather cycles (seen in historical weather data for given areas) with hotter & colder, wetter & dryer, calmer & more active weather, for given areas.  
As natural weather changes takes place and if economic changes occur such as inflation which raises costs of everything, insurance companies make price adjustments to take into account for those  hanging factors.
For Ex., the pandemic, when there was massive over control and spending  by the federal gov’t; that caused inflation to rocket upwards, and like everyone else, the insurance companies had to raise their rates to cover increasing costs of material and labor.  It’s basic economics.

It is a fact that there is going to be a climate change as far as I can see. But I think that for all left-oriented governments react much too extremely to that, and that lobbyists of NGOs and the business world feast on it and that reinforces each other to insane proportions. For example, our government spent billions to achieve a temperature drop of 0.0000043 degrees in 30 years. And those are exact figures that they gave.
Now developing countries are going to recover climate change damages from western countries and that is even honored and maybe rightly so, I don't know.

And I can go on like this for another half hour. I won,t  

There is no political solution for climate change.
A change in consciousness is needed.
As long as people have their center in their thinking, they will never find satisfaction and remain selfish.
And then you can be as woke or left-wing as you want, but that does not contribute anything.

The only solution is a shift from the center of thought to consciousness. In church circles it is sometimes called "Thy will be done".
The price for being in bliss and ecstasy is extremely high.
You have to get rid of the illusion of the I thought.

If enough people make this shift (and that is really not half the world population but much less). Then the entire collective field of identified consciousness collapses.

If everyone would stop thinking now, it is inevitable that it will happen in an hour.

We are now so focused on ourselves.
While the only reason that human souls are here on this planet is the moon.
The moon is in a certain state of development where it needs our divine energy to awaken as a living planet.
The earth is the planet of form, and that is why this is one of the most difficult planets to come to love because we do not see that consciousness and form are the same. We see the form that is tangible as something that has nothing to do with consciousness.
However, everything around us is consciousness. We need to descend into our body, and to ground. Because our body is the earth. And when we descend completely into our body, we realize that we are consciousness. and the day you succeed is the happiest day of your life. Because the body produces no thoughts when you descend into it completely.
And thoughts are the veil that enshrines the divine.

The moon needs us to make this transformation, that is why we are here.
