I'll repeat: If you rebuild, it will be destroyed again. If not next year, then the year after. This is what climate change looks like.
This is what it means for climate change to render certain regions unliveable.
It’s actually time to consider that we shouldn’t rebuild in these areas. If we do it’ll all just get destroyed again. It’s time to have some humility before the power of nature.
