    yeah disagree on this tbh. I mean it’s inevitable anyway, but given 2019 didn’t change anything I wouldn’t expect a repeat to do so either

      I do think 2019 (and flooding after it) helped convince “don’t really care” types to take it seriously. Trying to convince conservatives of much of anything is a losing battle, but you can convince the rest.

      Honestly, fair enough. I guess part of me sharing that thought was because I recognised it was pretty drenched in schadenfreude, and was interested to see what people thought.

      The last thing I really want is more disastrous weather to occur. Bring back the 1 every 100 year disasters I say.

        sorry I hope I didnt imply it as a value judgement, we all deal with the slow crawl of impending doom in our own ways. Like sticking your head in the sand, as you noted lol.

          Oh no, I didn’t think it was meant that way. I just took it as hoping for catastrophic weather in the hope it will convince enough people will probably backfire. To which, you are probably correct.
