In the past here in the UK we have built estates and people’s houses on top of used landfill, giving them an inch of top soil before they start to dig into the compacted waste and denying them a garden; we have built on flood plains because they are near cities and people have to commute to the workplace instead if workplaces being near homes that are built on good ground. The result in the changing mood of the climate is that people cannot insure their house anymore, some communities will have to move because they cannot be saved no matter what we do, and many will lose money on their properties because governments are not going to buy them back at market rates.
And that’s just the UK.
