Flooding in Asia isn't 'their' problem

Why should the world care about flooding in Southeast Asia?

Because global supply chains don’t respect physical borders. When climate shocks hit Southeast Asia in November, the ripple effects could move through production lines, logistics routes, and eventually—prices elsewhere.

Flooding in Asia isn't "their" problem. It’s a supply-chain problem. A cost-of-goods problem. A global-economy problem.

A global risk-management problem.

A world that is becoming hotter, colder, and wetter asks a simple question:

What does climate adaptation look like when local disasters create global consequences?

If we think in bets, what are the odds that a destabilizing planet will behave in predictable and controllable ways? And if those odds are extremely low, should we really be counting on human intervention to arrive just in time?

Superman is far away. Which means climate adaptation must be much closer.
