Wexelblat-katastrofe

Den anden Sterling for idag: Termen Wexelblat-katastrofe, for ulykker der primært skabes af interaktioner mellem naturkatastrofer og kultur. Sterlings eksempel: 20 cm regn er meget, sådan i al almindelighed, men det bliver først en menneskelivskrævende katastrofe når de 20 cm regn løbed ned i en kulmine og drukner arbejderne der.
