It’s not necessary to travel far and wide to write fiction. But doing that does make it seem like you don’t buy what you’re selling.
The Wizard of Oz doesn’t have to go anywhere around the world.

If you could read their minds, you'd find these "climate scientists" themselves don't believe the bullsh*t they're selling. They just discovered it pays well (and far better than the climate skeptics who can't find jobs). And who doesn't want to take exotic vacations in Borneo?
But now the ride is coming to an end.
Fortunately, self-sacrificing climate-alarmed guys are shielding vulnerable poor people by kindly buying up doomed, low-lying island/coastal properties (Obama=$15m waterfront mansion in Martha’s Vineyard; Gore =$8.9m ocean-view villa in Montecito, CA; DiCaprio a couple of Caribbean islands!!) to absorb the *inevitable* losses caused by the rising seas.
Illegals can walk that far, so can she. Or Skype the meeting. In this day and age, none of them need to travel outside their front doors.
