“And if there is one thing we can be sure of, it’s that extreme weather events like Superstorm Sandy, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and the British floods—disasters that, combined, pummeled coastlines beyond recognition, ravaged millions of homes, and killed many thousands—are going to keep coming.” IfsHomeMillionsOne ThingEventsExtremesBritishDisasterWeatherRecognitionFloodPhilippinesSandyCoastlineExtreme WeatherTyphoonsSuperstorm Sandy Book:This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs.
