Some states, like California, Louisiana, or Alaska may be feeling the impacts more acutely earlier on, but it does not feel like things have become bad enough for political will to be marshalled. But it beats a structure in which political paralysis is so severe that nothing, whether adaptation or mitigation, can be done.

Then things move on.
