Changing climate, changing habits


TODAY, I’d like to share my response to a talk given by a senior civil servant at my university recently about the effects of climate change on disasters such as floods and landslides that are currently plaguing our cities and town areas.

I am actually not a fan of the view that only climate change is to be charged with the cost of wrecked cars and mountains of damaged furniture, and even lost lives. To me it sounds too simple to absolve politicians and senior civil servants of contributing factors like negligence and incompetence.
