A whinge as an alternative to action

Every time the wildfires eating the edges of Los Angeles are on the news, we get some stooge going on about climate change. Isn’t it about time they realized that doing a whinge isn’t much use?
    If the climate changes, and you want to go on living where you do, you need to adapt. But this seems to be beyond the powers that be. That’s why wildfires keep raging and bits of Britain keep getting flooded – because governments and local authorities can’t realize that adequate defences would be a great idea.
