Inhaltsangabe

Disaster Resilience and Normalization: Facing Facts explores the normative and factual dimensions of a Climate Change Paradigm, in a global scope. Apart from who is responsible and who should pay for mitigation, the facts of Rising Average Earth Temperatures and More Intense and Frequent Disasters must still be faced. That is so far voluntary for signatories to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and participants in the 2022 US Inflation Reduction Act - there is no world climate government and nested national and local governments have varyingly effective public policies. Zack distinguishes between rising earth temperatures and their effects that scientists predict will worsen and continue for many years. Topics include: limits to resilience, obstacles to preparation, liability, practical responsibility, and disaster trauma. The poor and vulnerable will suffer and die most, already evident in Africa, South Asia, and small island nations. But eventually, everyone will be affected. Without united effective will to face climate change, not facing it becomes part of this disaster. This book provides needed assessment of our shared normative and factual realities of climate change.
