Humans are becoming what demographers call a “marginal” species, choosing increasingly to live near to the edges — or “margins” — of continents. This collective behavior is a prescription for repeated devastation in the changing global climate regime.
Disasters of increasing magnitude, frequency and severity will be forthcoming from extreme weather, tsunamis and sea-level rise. Human communities must learn to develop new means of adapting to the coming trends and forthcoming climate shifts that will impact all coastal regions with escalating force in the coming years and decades.
