    Wouldn’t that imply that the federal government needs to do something to prevent similar events in the future? Like actually doing something to reduce CO2 emissions in the US?

      It would activate the FEMA fund and allow for a pool of executive spending for disaster relief, yes.

        Oh you mean, oh no, big oil and legacy auto are struggling with the switch to EV… they need relief money so they can destroy the ecosystem and come up with a 0 emission plan by 2050…

          No, I mean that our dear president and his cabinet get to decide to continue with BP’s BS and lose 2024, or prove that he’s tackling climate change earnestly and with all due seriousness over the next 5 years.
