Also with my job I have over 1500 customers. Lots of which are transplants mostly from california. When I ask them why they moved the answer has never ever been global warming, climate change, rising sea levels or anything close to it.
The most common answers are:
1. High taxes and not just high taxes but ridiculous stupid taxes.
2. Our representatives care more about getting illegal alien votes than their actual constituent citizens. Notice they dont say "care more about illegal aliens than the constituent citizens" because they only care about fostering the illegals votes not the livelihood of them.
3. The streets are filthy where they lived
4. Schools suck and are over crowded
5. Although not a common answer but my favorite one yet. "My daughter stepped in people shit one day coming home from school" and that was the last straw.
Now understand the people I'm talking to are adults who act like adults, they have careers, families and people who rely on them, contribute to society, and just have more responsibilities than holding up a sign at the local park that say "climate change deniers can get effed". Like Melyssa with a Y does the days she decides to get out of bed before noon.
Whether or not they know it, increased homelessness, increased tax burdens, asylum seekers from foriegn lands, mass migrations of people due to political instability, etc, are all part of being a climate refugee.
But that's ok. I know people who don't think drinking alcohol impairs their ability to drive, so I get the sentiment.
