One Thing Led to Another: The Hidden Chain Reactions of Disasters
Descripción
I've spent a lot of time on natural disasters. This will be our final deep dive, and then I will leave disasters out of your feed for a while. Although I've been sharing a lot about the issues, I have a reason for doing an extensive breakdown of each system. It was to truly show you and prove that we can feel climate change and this climate crisis very differently depending on where we are in this world. So please never forget these disasters are trying to tell us something important, and now it’s our turn to listen. So tune into this week's episode on cascading disasters!
