    And this is just the beginning. Mitigating climate change consequences is going to be one heck of an expense category from now on.

      Yup. At some point when people go to rebuild again there isn’t going to be insurance money. When people go to sell their house there won’t be buyers.

      Just another slow moving crisis that “no one could have predicted”.

      Then there’s just the heat and AC bills.

        I personally was forced to pack up all my most important things and told I had to be ready to flee an approaching wildfire within 20 minutes. We were lucky and they stopped it before it crossed the highway, but I’ve been very preachy about climate change since.
