Climate Survival
The continued existence of the human species is now threatened more by extreme weather in a changing climate than by weapons of mass destruction, according to a global survey by the World Economic Forum.
It was released just prior to the foundation’s annual meeting of global leaders in Davos, Switzerland.
The survey of nearly 1,000 international experts and decision makers reveals that in terms of likelihood and impact, extreme weather around the world is listed as the top concern.
The survey points to how catastrophic hurricane damage and wildfires last year demonstrate that environmental events can result in devastation of crucial infrastructure and food supplies.
