Climate change is growing and is already bringing more frequent and stronger storms with widespread damaging winds and local flooding.
It is bringing faster and more severe bushfires, with homes destroyed and extensive environmental damage.
It is bringing larger waves to erode beaches and devalue seaside property.
It is bringing more severe heat- waves which damage or limit agricultural production, raising food prices as well as endangering the lives of frail individuals of all ages.
These changes, and others not yet so obvious, will become more severe as climate change grows.
Of course federal, state and local governments and insurance companies will help with replacement, repair and restoration but they all get their money from the same place, you.
You, your children and grandchildren will pay dearly for growing climate change.
You need to do everything you can to limit the size of the coming change and to urge governments of all descriptions to use what experts recommend as the most effective and efficient policies to assist with this.
