"Sea levels are going to drown most of us."

Most projections show a sea level rise of less than 1 meter in the next 100 years, the worst scenario is a sea level rise of 2.2 meters in the next 100 years: https://sealevel.nasa.gov/ipcc-ar6-sea-level-projection-tool?type=global

Which altitude do you live? Sea levels won't drown most of us within our lifespan. We'll have other problems (f.e. if the gulf stream int the Atlantic breaks down, increase of extreme weather conditions...), but mass drowning won't be one of them.

"Chinese children make pretty much all our toys." - Do they? I'm sure, there are more Chinese adult workers making our toys than Chinese children workers.

"Police brutality is normal." - Not in most Western countries.

"Mass shootings are increasing." - Not a big problem in most countries.

To respond to these in order:

-My altitude doesn't change the problem of rising sea levels.

-China still has no child labor laws.

-Police brutality is still normal in North America, which Canada is a part of.

-Same as the above.

To respond to these in order:

- How do you drown, if you live f.e. 50 feet above current sea level if the sea level only rises 5 feet in 100 years?

- Which doesn't mean that "all our toys" or "the majority of our toys" are made by children.

- The world is bigger than USA + Canada.

- Same as the above.
