Humans: Always Surprised by the Weather?

The UN's environment programmes Adaptation report for 2020 confirms, that countries are changing their responses to extreme weather events much too slowly (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/14/countries-adapting-too-slowly-to-climate-breakdown-un-warns). Countries, all over this planet, can't have failed to notice, that extreme weather events, like flooding, fires and hurricanes, are increasing in frequency. In spite of this, the UN notes, that they are still putting too little funding into dealing with their environmental effects. Of course, they might have to spend less money on such events, if climate change was brought under control. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be achieved quickly (even with the best of intentions).
