COP 26, COP 27, keep copping out and see the fury that nature can unleash.

So it was all about money after all.

Direct compensation will never happen. If you live within 2m of sea level, you need to move. Humans walk 1,000+ miles with small children to find better economic situations, so you can too. https://www.npr.org/2021/05/10/994065661/why-people-are-fleeing-honduras-for-the-u-s-all-thats-left-here-is-misery
BTW, the US is also impacted by climate change - look at the 20 yr drought in the far west and the annual destruction caused by hurricanes in the Atlantic and Gulf. Just a few days ago, Puerto Rice - a US Territory - was hit hard by a hurricane.
BTW, I used to live near sea level and saw flooding almost every year. After a not-so major tropical depression hit and put 2 ft of water into a neighbor's home, I found a job in a different state and moved. Now living at about 300m above sea level, happily.

FYI, natural disasters occurred well before humans were burning fossil fuels. Building cities at or below sea level, or on flood zones. What could go wrong?
