When the author states “the whole thing is largely an afterthought” (second sentence of the last paragraph), it can be correctly inferred that environmental concerns are not being considered as important as “battles over territorial, political and historic rights” in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Politics of attributing extreme events to climate change
Climate change shapes weather events. However, describing it as the cause of disasters can be misleading, since disasters are caused by pre-existing fragilities and inequalities on the ground. Attribution is not neutral. Hence, analytic frames that attribute disaster to climate can divert attention from place-based vulnerabilities and their sociopolitical causes. While politicians may blame climate change, the public may hold the government accountable for inadequate investments in flood or drought prevention. To be strategic and moral, framing choices must therefore be sensitive to context and to how the values implicit within analytic frames about the causes of disasters shape policy responses. Such sensitivity requires multicausal analysis of weather-linked disasters to reduce the damages. Through examples from around the world, especially Brazil, we discuss how and why climate-centric disaster framing can erase from view—and, thus, from policy agendas—the very socioeconomic and political factors that centrally cause vulnerability and suffering in weather extremes.

“Parable of the Talents” (Octavia E. Butler)
“To survive, Let the past Teach you-- Past customs, Struggles, Leaders and thinkers. Let These Help you. Let them inspire you, Warn you, Give you strength. But beware: God is Change. Past is past. What was Cannot Come again. To survive, know the past. Let it touch you. Then let The past Go.”
(BUTLER, Octavia E. Parable of the Talents. New York, Durham and London: Open Road, 1998.)

Images generated with artificial intelligence (AI) are often not faithful representations of reality. The chart illustrates the level of disparity between a realistic representation of race and gender in various professions and the images generated by AI. The center line in this graph means equal representation. In one case, AI-generated images exclusively represented a certain profession as being held by white males, even though it is actually held by a range of men, women, white, and non-white people. In another case, although more than half of the people holding this position self-identified as white, AI represented it as being held solely by women who were primarily non-white.
