The cost of responding to and rebuilding from individual weather disasters will quickly exceed the cost of avoiding the original climate change cause.
Wow that's quite the old church! Apparently the twist in the stone spire is original, and was retained when it was rebuilt in the 1850's. devonchurchland.co.uk/galleries/er...

Time again for my pinned post about what the hell I’m trying to do here. This is an experiment in story-telling in a weird new media. The K&S was a dramatic but short-lived railway in the Victorian era. It's also a story about human endeavour, greed, ignorance, and maybe what we can learn from it.
