The last week has seen volume of natural destruction in the United States that broke records and happened in a seemingly endless thread of phenomenal disasters, ones that no longer can be called phenomenons. Hurricanes ravaged homes from the Caribbean to Florida, Texas to Mexico. Global flooding crises, spanning continents, raging fires and foundation shaking earthquakes. They served as preview to the coming effects of climate change.
