Don't believe anything you read-do the research and know for yourself what the truth really is. Ignorance keeps people enslaved to illusions of reality, presented by people who are not concerned about your welfare. As things begin to collapse ecologically and economically, you will be fed lies to keep the public passive and compliant. if you can think outside the box, you will do better to anticipate and cope with what has happened and what is happening.  As one can see in Miami Beach and now West Virginia, there are always those who will steal the last dollar before homes go under water or will come up with schemes to cheat people in pain, who have lost everything in an extreme weather event...be smart, be a step ahead of their lack of compassion. case in point-profiting off of climate change:
