Imagine you're living in Moscow, Russia - what's the worst world-ending thing happening to you?

The answers range from "Nothing" to "Hot full-scale war" but it doubtfully includes climate change and stuff.

Imagine you live in Kyiv, Mariupol or Bucha.

That’s it! The way to deal with climate change is to have a nuclear armageddon within the next 50-100 years!

But that's not quite your direct problems. Like, when you live in Tel Aviv and earn a wage for your full-time job, you do not care about those casualties a couple miles from you.

Except you can argue that Tel Aviv is also bound to be heavily affected by Climate Change and rising seas, whereas with Moscow it's questionable due to all the landmass.

Moscow is the biggest city in Europe (not counting Istanbul) - if a civil war or another issue stops the regular delivery of food and fuel bad bad things can happen.

Living in a russian village and growing your own food is a lot more sustainable in case of total collapse, e.g. caused by climate change.

Bullshit, in no time people with guns will arrive to kill you and grab your food. Holodomor is just one example.
