Everyday we are reminded of the effects of climate change. Whether it is scalding hot temperatures, wildfires or unprecedented flooding, we are constantly reminded that our world is continuously burning, to put it gently.
These individual events serve as a warning that unless there is a change in policy and human behaviour we will lurch from fire to flood while trying to place temporary bandaids on deep wounds pretending it will magically get better. Our experiences with climate change will vary as it is a beast that is unpredictable. It seems like things can go from 0 to 100 at any given time.
Cities are strange places to experience climate change. They always seem to bounce back quickly when something hits. I suppose financial and infrastructure stakes are too high, resulting in intervention being swift as opposed to the places that are remote.
