Updating the cost of climate change

[HuffyCane]

“Los Angeles weather is the weather of catastrophe, of apocalypse, and, just as the reliably long and bitter winters of New England determine the way life is lived there, so the violence and the unpredictability of the Santa Ana affect the entire quality of life in Los Angeles, accentuate its impermanence, its unreliability. The winds shows us how close to the edge we are.” Joan Didion, 1968, decades before “climate change” and smack dab in the middle of the era where scientists were telling me we were 20 years from another Ice Age.

The earth is not a perfect circle or orb, and our orbit around the sun isn't exactly the same every year.

Thus we don't line up with the sun exactly the same from year to year, so it's more like Climate Shift.

You are so much like a scientist.

you can't stop hurricanes, but you can plan for them.

LA can't eliminate Fires but they could plan for them: brush clean out, hydrants that work, adequate trained fire fighters, enough equipment, communication, . . .

Have you ever been to California? They have those things.
