    If you are from Europe and you have always wondered how the Americans live with weekly school shootings, the climate disaster is our version of the same conundrum.

    Hundreds of deaths, billions in damages and we can only collectively shrug and go on with business as usual.

    The Onion should make a new version of the old article “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” but with floodings and heath waves.

    Am I a cynic for expecting batoning down protests from this headline? I mean, I am a cynic, but given our timeline and the title, am I wrong for being surprised the article talks about emergency relief?

        I know. Here in Germany, the Bundeswehr also often does disaster relief work. It’s just the wording of the title that is kinda… Well, could be read like a title about violent protest abatement.
