Clean air is the problem?

Most people’s rational plan will be to breathing smoke because they can’t fly to the summer house, live in an apartment without central air, have to go to work, and don’t have the money for Marie Antoinette’s idea of “rational options.”

They don’t live in a bubble where that flavor of bullshit is palatable.



They have to do that anyway when (not if) the forest burns down on its own, as seems to be happening now. If you don't have the money for Marie Antoinette's idea of "rational options", you're kind of fucked regardless of whether the problem is scheduled in advance or not. Maybe try supplying them with options rather than delaying the empirically inevitable?
