"This is not a failure of prediction. It is a failure of alignment. The climate is changing faster than the infrastructure built to manage it. South Texas is drying. .... The industrial demand layered on top of that system has no mechanism to recalibrate when the rainfall those commitments assumed stops arriving. This is a synchronization failure between climate systems and human systems. The reservoirs are where that gap becomes measurable."

"Over the past century in Chicago, the likelihood of heavy rainstorms has increased sevenfold. These storms can drop more than 8.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. Designed decades ago, Chicago’s sewers can handle just 2 inches in that short period of time before flooding becomes likely. That means every neighborhood in Chicago is at risk of flooding, and that threat rises with every big storm." https://insideclimatenews.org/news/04052026/chicago-flooding-climate-change/
