Source: Phys.org · Published
When a climate disaster happens, people thousands of miles away may encounter it through numbers: how many people died, how many were displaced, how many homes were destroyed and how much infrastructure was damaged. But for the people living through it, the disaster is not a data set. It is a home, a family, a livelihood and a place.
