Broken and in the grip of civil war, can Myanmar rebuild after earthquake?
The junta’s poor emergency response leaves people fearing prolonged chaos, despite the relentless propaganda
For seven painful days, Hnin has waited for news. Her two daughters, two and seven years old, her husband and their domestic worker, were all inside a six-storey hotel in Mandalay, central Myanmar, when it collapsed.
Delays to search operations have added to her agony. Hnin rushed around the devastated city, where communication lines were barely functioning, to buy head-torches and fuel for poorly equipped teams.

洛杉矶山火是前所未有的复合型气候灾害，由极端环境条件叠加而成。山火因接近飓风级的圣安娜大风和长期干旱引发。
科学家指出，气候变化导致极端天气更加频繁和强烈，如高温加剧干旱、北极融冰改变喷射气流行为，使得冬季强风助长山火概率提升。此类复合型灾害体现了气候危机的加剧效应，即多重气候事件叠加造成难以预测的连锁反应。
专家警告，这种复合危机或将成为全球常态，而洛杉矶本周的火灾正是气候变化时代的缩影。随着雨季降临，烧毁的地表可能进一步导致洪灾，对居民构成新的威胁。这一切表明，气候危机已进入新的临界点，需要更全面的应对措施。

This is a great example of how the Chinese have seen the economic advantage of moving to a green economy and decoupling themselves from a dependence on Arab/US controlled oil and gas prices. They are making similar massive progress with their renewable technologies.
