Climate crumpling moves across political and geographic boundaries, but so do ideas, money, technologies, planning strategies, and political influence. Approaches to climate adaptation circulate between cities and organizations. Local communities respond to these outside influences in different ways. This creates a tension between networks of global planners and the experiences of people who actually live in the affected neighborhoods.

I now believe that evolution, or deevolution, never ends short of death, that no society has ever achieved an absolute pinnacle, that all humans are not created equal.

Equal justice and equal opportunity are ideals we should seek, but we should recognize that humans administer the ideals and that humans do not have equal ability.
