I wish climate-linked disasters in other countries mattered.

The #LAFires wouldn't be a "wake-up call" if we were paying attention when floods, typhoons, and fires hit countries like #Bangladesh, #India #Philippines and #brazil #pinoy

@[email protected] But will it? The massive flooding far inland due to a freak Hurricane #Helene in North Carolina didn't seem to have much of an impact, despite clear links to climate change. Nor the Texas grid crisis from a few years ago.

Grew up partly in Kansas myself so certainly understand the challenge in red America.

Right? Houston has been repeatedly flooded, and 10 years ago there was a made-for-TV movie about that city getting hit by a tornado swarm, which is plausible.
