    For thought people.
    Until now we and most governments thought NIMBY so why should I worry about climate change?
    There was/is no formal mechanism to address loss and damage from climate change currently. This will change at COP19 in Fiji 12-14 September.

    What is the likely bill to be?
    Bangladesh has a proposal here for $450 Billion

    So governments of whatever flavour will take climate change much more seriously, ultimately because of self interest.

    Cheers
