The Brown Ocean Effect
A phenomenon called the “Brown Ocean Effect” got me to thinking about the notion of climate havens recently, and about how this idea, that of a geographic location serving as a sanctuary from the worst effects of climate change, might be one that exists in the mind, but not in
