Valuable piece on why flagging maladaptation is no excuse for climate inaction. I have worried about this cynical response when highlighting backdraft conflict potential of climate responses, one kind of maladaptation. Thx @lisaschipper.bsky.social & Aditi Mukherji!

the social maladaptation of having a kinda-sorta relationship with an absent parent due to past abuse and general dysfunction is a trauma in itself. to choose that relationship with your child completely unforced because you want to hang out with fans in LA is horrendous

Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard.
As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.

Part 4 of 🧵 on adaptation. This thread with focus on the origins of maladaptation. Unlike some claims, maladaptation was not a 'new' concept for the IPCC. In fact, in my 2004 PhD I cite WGII's 3rd Assessment Report - chapter 20 by Smit et al: www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/...
