Cracked Windshields and Cracked Fractals
What Climate Science Looks Like What does climate change look like? In many ways, it resembles a cracked windshield. At first, you may not notice anything at all. Time passes. The damage appears minor or even invisible. Then one day, a small fracture catches your eye — just a tiny finger crack stretching across the […]
