Compare the damage from Typhoon Yagi which just hit Vietnam to Hurricane Helene.

Yagi hit a high-density place with next to no regs where facades were blown off buildings with high winds (because next to no regs) but there was very little flooding. Vietnam doesn’t really “believe” in climate change, theyre told it’s happening but they’re not banning plastic straws and coal power and shit like we are in the West.

What I see in the US is massive flooding in what looks like a superstorm. I’m not claiming I’ve looked into the difference in intensity between them but I see the difference in outcome and the country that isn’t trying to excuse everything with climate change seems to be dealing with a normal seasonal storm whereas the country taking massive subsidies from taxpayers for climate change got absolutely battered.

The US has tech to seed these storms. Vietnam wouldn’t do that to their people - they’re not entirely financialised like the US and don’t want the fallout.

I’ve got my tinfoil hat on agreeing with you here.
