Curiosity Hub: Natural disasters – are they increasing, and what can be done about them?
Advertisement
Professor Robert White will explore whether natural hazards (earthquakes, storms, and volcanic eruptions) are increasing in frequency or intensity.
Is their massive impact on humans inevitable? What aspects of science and technology have been most helpful in averting disasters? What kind of social and political commitment is still in inadequate supply? Is a sense of moral responsibility in relation to these matters in significant retreat? What can be done about all that by ordinary people like you and me?
