The summer blockbuster raises big questions about climate adaptation. It just doesn’t have good answers.
ArticleBody:This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here. The words “climate change” make no appearance whatsoever in the new film Twisters. This makes political sense: For a blockbuster designed to maximize the broad appeal of its computer-generated thrills, a direct climate tie-in might have been box-office poison. Nevertheless, this summer’s reboot of the classic 1996 thriller of the same name tackles a central dilemma of our disaster-prone era.
It really is common for real estate speculators to descend on areas that have experienced a devastating disaster, like Maui after last year’s Lahaina fire, and make aggressive all-cash offers for homes. Many fire, flood, and tornado victims lack the kind of insurance coverage that can pay for a full rebuild of their properties, which makes these low-ball offers very difficult to turn down, especially for those with modest incomes.
