[ad_1] Today, we are witnessing these unfold as news media headlines scream, almost on a daily basis, about how climate change has exacerbated disasters. Be it wildfires across the world, including the horrific ones in Greece recently, or typhoon Gaemi that killed dozens across the Philippines, Taiwan and China, or incidents such as the water…
[ad_1] When it comes to measuring the impacts of the climate crisis, we tend to fall upon two simple metrics: human fatalities and economic losses.
