Catastrophic events are happening you just live in a country that can deal with it-for now at least.

This summer we saw floods kill people in Germany and Belgium while in the Netherlands nobody died because it spent a fuck ton of money on flood defences.

Solutions like that are described in great details in a book False Alarm. It was the first book about climate change (for me) that demonstrated how one can agree with the idea of changing climate, yet approach the problem with a level head and practical solutions. Can't recommend highly enough.

The flood mitigation that the Dutch have implemented is just unbelievably impressive.
