I get the feeling that a lot of folks (and not just billionaires) think they can ride out climate change, that their affluence will keep them relatively safe, that it’s a distant concern that will come for Those Other People first.

To that I say: You really think you’re more protected than Billy Crystal? Carry Elwes? Eugene Levy? Paris Hilton? John Goodman? They all just lost their homes, despite all the fame and fortune a person could wish for. What's keeping •you• safe? The answer, I’m afraid, is “nothing but luck.”
