    At some point even the best plans aren’t going to be enough, and the more we built the worse it gets. When an area gets water amounts in a day that it used to get in a year, that water simply isn’t going anywhere fast. You know how evolution is about adaptation? I don’t think we’re adapting all that well or fast enough. (Yes, it’s not quite the same thing, but the same point. Don’t change, don’t expect to survive)

        If we ever do get the point of starting to actually fix climate change, those same Republicans will be whining that we should keep things the way they are (because by that point the rich will have figured out some way to profit from it).

          Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, citing how Obama was being too radical about it all, so what you said literally has already happened!

          Edit: but since you asked, they indeed do keep giving! https://programming.dev/post/14301895
