and it’s only going to get worse! this is tragic.
Exactly. Shoots my anxiety all the way up because it’s not shit I can do about it. The people who can change things don’t give af.
i live in bumfuck nowhere USA and the extreme weather events we've experienced over even just the past few years is insane. 100 year floods happening every couple years, tornados hitting the same areas over and over, prolonged droughts, insanely high wind storms, etc... it's bonkers. i've already said to a few people we need to start updating our building codes to meet or exceed that of hard hit hurricane areas because pretty soon we're going to be uninsurable too.
Infrastructure will definitely be effected. It’s the same where I live, the weather has been nuts lately. This stuff is happening collectively around the whole world and yet we still have people acting like it’s business as usual. Unfortunately, nothing will be done until something catastrophic happens. And by then, it’ll be to late.
