Imagine a CEO of a small company in Taylorville Illinois. He produces small electronic gadgets based on a patent he is fighting the patent office for. He already has several clients with businesses in the hundreds of thousand dollars, some components are made in China and the final product is assembled in the Mexico-US border.
The clients are in a hurry to install their products. Now it is snowing in China, and Americans have to show passports to come back from Mexico or Canada. He is late delivering his product.
He may lose his client or not, but he has to worry about many more things coming out right, than somebody making a living a hundred years ago in Taylorville.
At this level it doesn't really matter if we know where exactly is it going to snow tomorrow at noon. The more global his business gets and the more the climate change, the harder it will be to make a living for him, no matter what.
