I think this is obvious to anyone that has viewed the damage that the extreme weather has brought in recent years

The issue was, is and will continue to be whose pocketbook it’s hurting.

Almost exclusively the damages will be suffered by poor and middle class, and paid out by public coffers while the profits made by NOT making these changes will be private and for the rich.

We’re not going to see any change until this starts hurting the rich.
