In March 2011, people in a coastal Japanese city stood atop a seawall watching the approach of the tsunami that would kill them. They believed-naively-that the huge concrete barrier would save them.

Increasingly, we no longer look to stop climate change, choosing instead to adapt to it.

Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended-and sometimes disastrous-consequences.
