Mean Joe Green #23: Extreme Weather Has an Audience in Denver

There will be severe climate disruptions, which will be left untreated because they will be recognized as able to recover autonomously. Selected climatically-induced emergencies where tax-payers’ money can reduce suffering will be funded.
