You're right - the stakes are much higher with climate change.
I'd say Katrina, Sandy, Irene, Maria, Camp, Woolsey, and Mendocino, but if you're not convinced already you'll never be.
Climate change shouldn't be political or some far-off hypothetical.. no propaganda, rationalization or BS can deny the mountain of evidence that it's an immediate, existential threat that demands immediate, decisive action on the decatrillion-dollar moonshot scale (roughly the total, multi-decade cost of Iraq & Afghanistan).
