Preparing for climate disasters

Around a week ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report saying that no part of the world is now exempt from the effects of the changing climate. These effects are already seen in all continents and even in our oceans.

Last year, the IPCC issued the physical science side of their report that was unequivocal in saying that the global climate is warming and that, in the recent 60 years, these changes are “unprecedented over decades to millennia.” They also pointed out that the last 30 years was likely the warmest in the past millennium and a half.
