Climate change – the perfect excuse for political failure.

I know. It's hard to believe that politicians and bureaucrats don't have the ability or desire to anticipate problems. Such as, oh, demands on city water resources from (1) population increase and (2) inadequate maintenance and expansion of the water supply infrastructure.

But wait! There's a surefire solution for government failure.

To deal with ever changing weather, and slowly changing climate, requires good government and adequate national wealth, well spent, to prepare first for the present, and then for the inevitable but unpredictable possible futures. All three of the localities [Kathmandu, Nepal, Chennai, Indian and Cape Town, S. Africa] covered in the [New York "Climate Change Causes ED"] Times have not even properly planned for the present . . . .

Politicians fall back on blaming Climate Change — something they can’t be expected to be held responsible for — for their own shortcomings and failures.^[1]

Just like Certain People who cling to the idea that they are "underprivileged" or that Certain Other People are racis'.

All part of that vast, vibrant human tapestry of shucking responsibility, denial of reality, hostility to free speech, fiscal lunacy, monetary excess, elite arrogance, endless war, reckless political experimentation, stupefying media, and institutionalized malice crafted to the very highest standards in the Western world.
