My groceries are almost twice as expensive as just a few years ago. So "5%" is a very optimistic outlook. And while you may think that, 95% of the population won't. You can see that already in our current state that absolutely no one gives a shit about the climate. Not enough to take any sort of hit to their own comfort at least.
You think your groceries doubled because of the people trying to save the planet, and not because of the greed of the millionaire who owns the store who chose to raise the prices and kill unions so they could buy a pet yatch for their mega yatch?
No. I think that needed climate action would cost everyone dearly either way. If you think it doesn't then you are nothing but naive.
Money is made up. The climate apocalypse just destroyed Florida.
