| Jane McAdam - bandaid solutions are not enough. |
Writing after Cyclone
Pam, Jane McAdam has warned that bandaid solutions to natural disasters are
simply not enough.
She said in today’s Melbourne Age that it is time to be pro-active
pointing out that the cost of inaction will be much higher.
In her story - “Climate change brings disasters on steroids”
– she writes: “Climate change-related displacement is happening now. It is not just a future phenomenon.
Reportedly 45 per cent of Tuvalu's population has been displaced by Cyclone
Pam. More frequent and more intense extreme weather events are consistent with
climate change: disasters become disasters on steroids.”
