The flooding of New York City was, once again, an example of known threats not

It would have been too expensive to do anything about the issues.  (Flood costs
currently $50B and rising as more damage found.)

Of course, nobody could have predicted Sandy, because this was a storm produced
by changing conditions.  Brought on by global warming/climate change.  Which is
another issue that is too expensive to address ...
In the aftermath, I was thinking: boy a natural disaster did this on
happen chance. What would be the result of a concerted effort by an
intelligent group who are angry about socio-economic injustice and
biased foreign policies in other regions of the world.
