So, so glad you're back to writing these. And you've pinpointed one part of the problem so perfectly (people focusing on insulating themselves and their loved ones in ways that actually exacerbate the problem) while also suggesting means to solve the problem (save the mangroves, allow the river to do its job, install permeable pavement, e.g. https://www.scitepress.org/Papers/2022/120001/120001.pdf and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwzLx9elNBc...i.e., adapt like the crows).
thank you for sharing this with us. i love that you said you are interested in awful things because you care about beauty because i resonate with that sentiment so deeply. doing work in the environmental field is so, so draining, but i think much of our resilience comes from the fact that we are also constantly reimagining a different world. disasters ARE manmade, which is why sometimes our work can feel so ridiculous all we can do is laugh, but in a way it's reassuring because that means we change our realities.
