These people are criminals and responsible for the chaos to come, think millions of refugees trying to find somewhere safe to live, migrating from increasingly arid equatorial regions to more temperate zones already full of people who won't want more as the initial novelty of helping poor desperate people wears off. It's already happening.
The [government and councils] which are partially responsible for the [impact of] increasing weather chaos around us knew about [the role and risk of flood plains, building on cliff tops and at the base of unstable cliffs and] did their best to cover up[.

[When the country was first settled, the flat fertile land near the coast seemed like a great place to live. We now understand more about tsunamis, earthquake liquefaction and have witnessed over and over the sheer amount of water that can come down from the hills. Why oh why are we STILL building on the flood plains? Even where it will be at or below sea level in 100 years?]
