That's really unfortunate. You likely know none of these people, have no idea what kind of lives they live or beliefs they hold, and yet smile at their misfortune? Even if they didn't believe in climate change or disagreed with you generally politically so what? They deserve to suffer and be punished? It really irks me that in the age of the internet where we have an unprecedented ability to come together as people many folks are instead acting like 1 mistake or 1 misstep damns you forever with no chance for redemption. What a strangely puritanical view to hold. I hope you gain more empathy.
