This flood is really the beginning of an era of such disasters because of climate change, not a once-in-a-lifetime event. Our government and other governments are massively subsiding the fossil fuel industry. American taxpayers each pay about $2,000 a year to subsidize fossil fuels. This is wrong. Individually we need to change to renewables, if possible, and more importantly, everyone should tell their legislators to stop supporting the fossil fuel industry and move quickly to renewables. ~ Nancy Hasenfus, Brunswick
