So if a monsoon hits someplace in the world the poor take a beating and rich people don’t even get their feet wet?

Oh, the rich get their feet wet, but they can decamp to a hotel out of the storm's way, or already live in a place proof against severe weather, rather than a leaky shack.

My point is that noting the poorest are harder hit by natural disasters than the rich is a truism that does actually have any real application to the public policy question at hand, namely the left's attempt to use climate modeling as yet another excuse for the expansion of state power.
