- W4313384303 abstract "Nature is dynamic, and although it follows deterministic laws, it is not always predictable with the accuracy we would prefer. Humans are also dynamic, but they follow probabilistic quasi-laws, and their actions are even less predictable. Humans as social beings are vulnerable and can only meet natural forces by either avoiding danger zones or protecting themselves with technical measures. A landslide, a flood or an earthquake are natural processes, but they can turn into major catastrophes when they strike human beings and their infrastructure, with or without warning signs. This chapter starts from the notion of ecological marginality and connects it with Bonneuil’s thesis of ecological debt. It uses recent natural catastrophes in the Swiss Alps and other disasters to illustrate the way nature is hitting back and at what cost. The ‘one-way or throw-away society’ has been externalizing the costs for the benefit of cheap products and is now confronted with expenses it never imagined. We owe a lot to nature but continue to exploit it recklessly and do not intend to pay back this debt. The paper arrives at the conclusion that human thinking is still characterized by inertia and not ready to learn from past experience." @default.
