        Similarly in The Ministry for the Future, a bunch of people take “more direct” actions against those who put them in the situation where thousands of people boil to death in peak summer heat in India and such. And I don’t blame them, I’m sure that’s going to happen much more when the general public experiences more and more negative extreme effects from climate change. Hence why many billionaires are building climate change proof compounds.
