Welcome to climate change. Thousand year floods every year are just the beginning of birth pangs. And - as scientists and NGOs have been warning us for years - the poorest countries have the least resiliency and their people will suffer most.

Pray for Libya. And pray Western disaster capitalists keep their filthy hands out of it.

Why do poorer countries and communities have such low resiliency? Why isn't it a human right to live in a structure that is safe from climate change and tectonic disasters?

Capitalism and colonialism, mostly.
