We were all kind of hoping that the "quiet" hurricane season would continue, but I guess that was foolish.

What I fail to understand is that we seem to be unable to realize that we are living with a civilization, a physical infrastructure and a "sense" of what weather should be like, from a climate that no longer exists.

It's not "climate change," it's "climate changed."

Yes, it is ongoing. Yes, it is likely to get worse. That is to say, be even more of a departure from what everything around us was built to accommodate.

But the climate has changed.

We are seeing, before our eyes, how unprepared, how unsuited our infrastructure, our standards, our practices are for the new climate we find ourselves in.

Anyway, this was a sobering segment yesterday. She's wrong about being prepared though.

We knew this was coming. We knew this would happen. We had an opportunity to stop it, or slow it, or adapt to it; but we failed to do any of that.

Because of power and greed.

And now we're paying the price.
