    What makes climate stories like this unsettling is how uncinematic they are. No single dramatic moment, just entire communities slowly realizing the map they grew up with is literally disappearing.

      This is the big problem with climate change and the current slow burn collapse its causing is its so slow. The number of disaster events increases, their severity edges up year by year but because its all small little increments over decades it never gets any response from the populace or governments. How did we heat our planet to +1.5C, a tiny little bit every year.
