Especially when people aren't actively looking.

That has consequences.


AGW has consequences too. Like increasing the margin of safety that we relied upon in the past for flooding, drought, storm damage, etc. Any of those events can be skewed, or come one after another when we used to see fewer of them, etc.

Building safety margins costs money. If we don't do anything to shore up safety nets, AND we don't do anything about AGW, there are going to be a lot of people in a world of hurt soon.

This is a tragedy locally, but a warning sign nationally. Time is running out.
