Yes, and this was entirely predictable, and while a lot of those people didn’t/don’t have the resources to avoid it and deserve help, subsidizing their rebuilding in the same place is madness, because it’s entirely predictable that this will happen again. We should help them relocate and rebuild elsewhere - which could just be far enough inland to be safe for ~50 years or whatever, I’m not saying we have to send them to North Dakota.
I do feel bad for the ones that would have liked to avoid this risk and couldn’t, but I have zero sympathy whatsoever for the climate change deniers who voted for Republicans to avoid trying to minimize the impact of climate change and prevent further global warming. They’re experiencing the consequences of their actions.
A lot of the people getting rekt are the ones going to Trump rallies screaming about fuck the libs and climate change is a Chinese hoax. I’m shocked people here sympathize with them. They’re dragging us over a climate cliff as hostages, we should not feel bad that some of them are getting got first - it might give the rest of us a slightly better chance each time this happens.
100 year storms refer to a 1% chance in a specific place. It is normal to hear about lots of 100 year storms when consuming media that covers the whole country.
