    This has more to do with the incredible cost of housing rather than climate crisis though. Yes, the frequency of these things is increasing - but NOT anywhere near the same degree as property values skyrocketing and causing the ‘repair cost’ to go up as well.

    I understand that in the long run, it’s a good thing to attribute this to the climate crisis - so long as it gets people to change their habits, it could be considered morally righteous.

    But the factual reality of it, is that climate doesn’t play a large part in the reasons for them doing this. And I, for one, am tired of living in this reality where things are just convenient, but not necessarily true. I am very scientifically minded, and I thrive on information being correct and accurate.
