“Climatic adaptation requires understanding the opportunity cost of inaction”, I once wrote in an academic paper, citing studies that evidenced it.

That opportunity cost is about to become very tangible for a lot of first-world people. After decades of fucking around with the atmosphere, they’re about to get a brutal onboarding to the find out phase.

The thin silver lining is that it might just be what’s needed to ignite a collective realization and action.

And ironically, Hurricane Milton formed in the Gulf and went East to target across Florida to the Atlantic, perhaps remaining at hurricane strength. So unusual a validation of changing climate patterns.
