"...a number of recent storms have already achieved this hypothetical category 6 intensity and ....more such storms are projected as the climate continues to warm."
Having just read "On the Move", I wonder if a disaster like this would inspire people to give up hydrocarbons, or just inspire them to "save themselves" by moving...
Research suggests disasters are bad times for learning, but they can provide space to do things differently
I’m reading Vince’s ‘Nomad Century’ which also argues lots of people are going to move
