I have been thinking and acting on Climate Change stuff since 1998 and today it dawned on me that my job in University education, and funding of public education in general, might be put in jeopardy because of the cost ($1.5B last year) to government of fighting Extreme Wildfire and Flooding events.
That was not on my bingo card.

A Self-Absorbed America Means Disorder for the World
Whatever the next year holds, the world owes U.S. President Joe Biden a debt of gratitude for the past three. Against rather long odds, he has managed to hold back the chaos that has long been flooding into U.S. politics.
But the next year—and likely the years beyond—promises to be a maelstrom for U.S. foreign policy.

Trailer trash and so on? Good account of the repeated flooding of the caravan park at Billing Aquadrome - nominally just for holidays but actually many people's only home - in the flood plain where I used to work as a farm labourer in holidays for farmer Mackaness who made fortunes from urban expansion.
So much rain and snow so far this year in Western Pennsylvania. The creeks and rivers are above the banks in NW Pennsylvania. Water is streaming in thru my basement. With all of this flooding up here, I doubt the flooding will end anytime soon in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is under a flood warning. The Mon Wharf and 10th St Bypass is closed. The bathtub along I-376 is filling up within the past hour and is likely to be closed by PennDOT.

From Bill McKibben
You Flood It You Pay For It
"legislators are opening up another front—”climate superfund” laws that treat disasters like Vermont’s summer flooding as if they were a toxic dump whose cleanup can be charged to the corporation that caused them. That would have been hard even a few years ago, but “climate attribution” science is now robust: it’s increasingly easy to prove that absent global warming we wouldn’t have the endless downpours/droughts/fires"
But they are by definition all open source, so a million eyes will inspect them! The bad ones will be noticed!

Powerful winter storm moves into Southern California with heavy rain, high winds, flooding
Although the Bay Area and Central Coast have experienced some significant impacts, “it will be a different story when the storm moves into Southern California,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with UCLA.
“This will have a broader contiguous band of heavy rainfall developing from about Santa Barbara County eastward, and it’s going to be very slow moving,” Swain said during a briefing…
