I'm curious if the state couldn't declare imminent domain and remove the houses?

The state is required to pay the owners when they do that. If you just let them collapse, then they don't have to pay.

So they're just not going to clean it up? Dear God.

It's a lot cheaper to clean up what's left of a house than to buy a habitable structure

So are they? I rta but didn't see it mentioned, but a friend was messaging me at the time, so I may have missed it.

Past ones got cleanup, though I don't know which government did it.

I found this. It looks like we simply need to tax the wealthy at appropriate rates and nationalize all insurance.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
