Beyond how selfish and ethnocentric it is to argue that, “so long as climate change isn’t that bad for one part of the world, why should we care?”, it’s not even accurate.
There is a myriad of ways that climate change is bad for Wisconsin, from our crops and farming to our winter sports to flooding and natural disasters. Yes, it’s nice when winter doesn’t feel THAT bad, but more people than you think are worried about it.
