and then plan how to mitigate the direct effects of climate change, as well as indirect factors like access to energy, food, and water. Insufficient capacity to deal with the effects may be due to lack of education, limited access to basic infrastructure, financial or employment constrai...
Symptoms of the looming climate crisis abound: 50-year extreme heat events happening every year, melting of polar ice sheets, forest fires that encircle the globe, tropical cyclones of greater size, intensity and, as was very evident in Ida’s recent vis
