WHAT? The author isn’t calling for a hundred trillion dollars to change the climate? He’s being eminently sensible and calling for improved infrastructure instead? What is with this uncommon common sense? For shame!
No. The article has “...estimated that the country is billions of dollars short in investments needed to update water infrastructure for 21st-century needs, including a new normal of extreme rainfall events...”. In other words, more money is needed cuz of climate change BS.
