Climate Change Deflection And Wealth Redistribution

     Every time there is a discussion about climate change, the interests that want nothing changed say the same tired lines that climate change is nothing but a hoax used in order to redistribute wealth. Many people buy into this deflection.
     Wealth has already been redistributed. Much of America's manufacturing base was given to the Chinese and others in order to take advantage of underpaid laborers or slave laborers. Tax and other policies have long favored the wealthy, improving their already enriched lot in life while decreasing the wealth of working and middle class people.
     Climate change is not about wealth redistribution. Climate change is about one of a number of deadly ways in which humans impact the planet.
