To be clear: DAC is at best a small and expensive part of what needs doing right now. Its basically an R&D project at this point, which gets marketed as the One True Solution by the fossil fuels industry because that marketing creates social permission to keep on extracting and burning.

Its also the case that this kind of sudden intense rain is more likely in a warmer world, and that local and state politicians were unwilling to either restrict development in the floodplain, or even set up the kind of warning system which would let people evacuate

Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities
