What a condescending comment. You realize how many millions of people live in flood plains, and how climate change means that existing mitigations are not sufficient anymore?
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y ago>You realize how many millions of people live in flood plain Yes? Building on flood plains has been a bad idea for a while now. (1) > how climate change means that existing mitigations are not sufficient anymore Is that not implied by what I already said: "Sadly, "unprecedented" floods should now not also be "unexpected"." 1) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51712267 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51712267 it actually is a floodplain, right? Calling it "condescending" to mention that many people are in that known bad situation, will not in itself make them safe, will it?
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoI am very sorry if my comments came across of callous or dismissive of tragedy, that was not my intent. But, we also need to talk about known risks, and how they are getting worse, and how it was known that they would get worse. And failure to plan. A floodplain is one of these risks.
