What I wonder is how many times
does it take to hear the superlatives that are used to describe recent weather events before the sub-average IQ can understand that something has changed? “Historical”, “unprecedented”, “thousand-year flood”, and “never been like this before”,should be a clue,
Well, it’s North Carolina today instead of Bangladesh, Africa, or Pakistan, and AccuWeather's preliminary estimate of the total damage and economic loss from Helene in the U.S. is between $95 billion and $110 billion. The question is how will poorer nations be able to meet the cost of rehabilitation and repair as storms and damage mount up?

this loss occurs because people are now moving into high risk areas to live. which they avoided decades ago. same rain, hurricanes, floods as has been happening for centuries. every year the people in Bangladeas rebuild on the same river delta, evey year they get wiped out.
