I saw something on TV about working on roads and such in the Florida Keys (where water is already a foot deep at king tides). WTF?

Believe me, I love a relaxing beach vacation (it has probably been a decade since I had one) and can certainly feel sympathy for people who have lived there in a "tropical paradise" for a good portion of their lives.

But hey folks! Wake up and smell the coffee! You got to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em ....

Florida people be like, "Oh sweet, the beach is closer to my house!"

Major Texas power outage continues after Hurricane Beryl, the earliest category 4 ever, devastates the state.

"""During the outage, a generator powered one elevator and a large, air-conditioned lounge at the complex – a lifeline for many who are dependent on electric wheelchairs and scooters to get around and oxygen machines for pulmonary disease. At times, as many as 40 residents sought refuge in the lounge. Others remained in their stifling apartments. Some stayed with relatives. """

This is only the beginning. The hubris in believing that technology will save us, that technology has mastered nature. What wanton disrespect for the 1 TRUE GOD.

This article, super guilt tripping the Tp4.

"""Ramesh lives with his parents, three brothers, a sister-in-law, and three children, in a congested suburb in western Delhi, a city that has made headlines in recent years as mercury levels regularly climb to dangerous levels.

And as temperatures topped 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) this June – closing schools, damaging crops and putting pressure on energy supplies – the heat was making his family sick too.

Ramesh, who goes by one name, says he borrowed $35 – nearly half of his monthly salary – from relatives to buy a second-hand air conditioner for his home.

“It makes a noise, sometimes it releases dust,” he said. But he cannot do without it. """
