And if you did, well then just move.

And if you didn’t build near water, yeah you did.

Lol: someone reported this comment as 'criminally wrong' because they didn't get your sarcasm

Ashville NC which is kinda the epicenter of where the worst of the reporting is coming out of is 250 miles from the coast and located in the mountains. This isn't just "yeah you built in Florida you signed up for extreme weather events" this is "the fucking Appalachian mountains flooded!" This should be the wakeup call the climate change is coming for everyone and will make more extreme weather events for everyone

For real though.

If you settle in an area famous for being a flood plain, you can't be mad about it when the plain floods.

Germany are now doing experiments with controlled flooding of old flood plains to channel water away from too narrow man made canals. The flooding also kills invasive plants as they were only allowed to grow because of the geological changed forced upon the land.

interesting watch on the topic.

Lar summer in Norway we had a flood matching the regular high points. Only issue was that the last high point was almost 100 years ago. So people stopped caring and the areas close to the river was regulated as river front houses.

Climate change is an issue. But people being dumb as fuck is an even greater one.

i see the sarcasm, but now for a real question:

we are already seeing the things they warned us about years ago happening now. further unrealized warnings call for large habitat destruction. we could see large extinction events. the same people that bury their heads in the sand are the ones who stand in the way of legislating solutions to mitigate this. entire species of animals that are completely innocent could die because these ignorant people will block solutions. what do we do?

Fuck you had me at the beginning. I had that onion halfway in my mouth.
