NO LONGER is the question "Is Climate Change REAL OR NOT?" When 97% of the experts agree, deal with it. We elect presidents with only 51% (or less). I don't care what 97% of the plumbers think since they don't do climate studies (I will ask them about those damn wipes plugging my system.) Nor do I plan to ask my surgeon about that monster typhoon hitting Australia. I have traveled globally but that doesn't make me a climate expert either. So I listen to the experts who DO study this unique area. They aren't split 50-50. It's 97-3.
The only argument left (at best) is whether its "natural" or "human-caused" but even that debate doesn't matter either. Why?
Because the answer is the same regardless of which of those two are correct. It's REAL. Stop wasting time. DO SOMETHING. PLAN for it. Have a STRATEGY to deal with it, because it is kicking our butts. It's messing up the only world we have and we are passing to our kids a deteriorating mess.
Weather Extremes are the new norm. Call it "Weather Whipsaw.' All Drought to all Flood. From too little to too much. Texas zips from years of Droughts straight into 500 year floods. Except they start happening annually.
It's not just here. India is being parboiled at 120 degrees melting asphalt streets and killing thousands. Below the equator the biggest typhoon in history is raging across the southern hemisphere.
Since its real and the hotter air is adding speed to the winds, we should first ask ourselves a fundamental question:
Are the buildings we live and work in able to handle these more ruthless storms?
Shocking, but most people don't know that they live in literal houses of straw...only a huff and a puff from blowing away (or floating away as we tragically saw on the Blanco River, this past Memorial Day).
But it need not be...
There are things you need to know to protect your most valuable asset and family. The alternative of doing nothing is foolish at best, deadly at worst.
