Oh man – you're home burned down?! That really sucks. But guess what… I'm gonna get ya some of those windmills that are as long as 2 football fields! Like 100-yards each winspan or something… That will fix everything.https://t.co/JWnAbtsonY

The way to combat high-intensity wildfires is to build wind turbines? Bizarre and wildly inappropriate to even bring this up. https://t.co/bleqRd22Xc

Climate scientists are the worst people to listen to about floods. They are overwrought with emotion, self-importance and ideology.
The best people to speak to are engineers. https://t.co/hYbfBBhVcF

Simple questions:
"Does it flood here?"
"Can it flood here?"
"Can anything be done to stop flooding here without causing bigger problems?"
"Can it be done within a reasonable budget?"

The engineer's solution to flooding is to build and maintain waterways and drainage, properly zone development, and to raise land levels or barriers where appropriate… And so on…

The climate scientist's solution to the possibility — or even inevitability — of flooding is to completely transform society, to regulate lifestyles and to enforce austerity.
But it will still flood.

The climate scientist's analysis will include the results of workshops on gender and inclusivity, and testimony from the lived experience of flood victims, which was also used in a lawsuit against an oil company.

The engineer's report will point out that the site has flooded every two years out of ten for the last 150 years, and that a flood on the site claimed eight lives in 1903, but has only been used for logistic storage since 1980.

The engineer's report will note that 150 jobs and 6 local businesses are dependent on the site, and that no critical works are required to make the site safe.

In exasperation, the climate scientist has launched a environmental justice campaign to evict businesses from the site for their historic role in creating the climate crisis, and to give the land to the community — one of the most deprived in the country with 50% unemployment.

The young academic's campaign receives international recognition and the support of several large NGOs. The site is closed and made a community sustainability garden, providing three full time green jobs. The local unemployment rate rises to 52%.
