8 thoughts on “City ramps up climate staff amid weather concerns

  1. All under the threat of climate change? That is a stretch. This proposed projects are needed to prevent sewage from dumping into the river when it rains and this problem has existed for 50+ years. And the other projects are to remove people from the 100 year flood zone, again not related to climate change.

    I’m in favor of keeping our waterways clean, but let’s not hide behind the climate change cloud unless that is a requirement to secure federal funding.

    1. Thank you. Anyone who has been around the metro area for decades knows this is growth and planning issues. Not “Climate Change”!

    2. Keep your head in the sand, Scott and David. Believe what you, but I’ve lived in Indianapolis for 58 years and the climate here has most definitely changed. The real “breathtaking act of destruction” will be when Rocky Ripple becomes a bathtub following a prolonged severe storm event.

  2. +1 “Climate change” is a politicized term that apparently even our bumbling mayor and his team now want to use to justify their existence. This is simply city planning.

  3. What a total waste of taxpayers dollars! And you wonder why taxes will never ever go down when they can find the NEED for 5 people that will probably sit at their desk and shuffle papers. All in the name of the bogus threat of climate change! Bureaucracy at its best!
