The tricky thing about global climate change is the "global" part. Funny how that works.

The LA fires aren't a climate fire though.

For other disasters, while climate change is "global", the effects are pretty much localized and to various degrees. Some places have had adapted construction to those kinds of blue moon disasters since centuries, so why should they part with more money?
