    No, unfortunately most businesses think about how much money they can put in their pockets & those of their stockholders, & what they can get by with, versus planning for worst-case scenarios, especially when mitigation is expensive.

    And unfortunately, it's easier to deny climate change than it is to live with it & to prepare for it. The climate scientists have been predicting more extreme weather events, & so far, that's exactly what we're seeing. Time to re-think the bad practice of putting profits ahead of cautious preparations.
