Headline for several articles blamed climate change but article itself didn't go into detail. So I researched further and found that the real reason was, there were all these areas that insurance companies wouldn't cover because tornadoes always happen there. Well, along come realtor and construction lobbies, they want to build there so they get states to force insurance companies to cover it. Fast forward 20 years, it turns out no we should not build in some areas, even if in a corporate "democracy" you can take bribes to force it to happen. Then blames it on climate change because climate change made tornadoes worse, even though we already should never have built there.
Same with coastal regions, where 30 years ago I was told that they would all be underwater by now. They're not, but hurricanes are smashing houses and they're collapsing. Well, no shit, during the housing boom people built cardboard houses on the water. Still not climate change.
