When people talk about the cost of climate change, the updated/improved replacement engineering and construction are some of those costs. And the same exact people who initially denied climate change even existed and who are now downplaying its effects are the exact same people who will complain about the additional costs caused by the consequence of inaction.
Looks like bad engineering to me.
A lot of engineering was done assuming that rainfall behaved the way it did in the past. That’s not a valid assumption anymore.
