Despite James Hansen's calls earlier this year highlighting Climate Change as a 'moral issue on par with slavery' , it's still failed to spark the moral outrage one might expect of it. In an enlightening piece by Markowitz and Sherrif in Nature (but more accessible in article by David Roberts in Grist ) the authors explain why it hasn't, but how it could. Although they point to the abstractness and cognitive complexity of Climate Change as one of the factors, I think that the authors missed a crucial, finer element in their analysis, which is that many of the people who will be hit hardest by Climate Change, still don't even have a word for 'Climate Change' in their languages (such as in Khmer in Cambodia). Maybe the fact that the 'victims' do not understand Climate Change, 'where it's coming from' and who's responsible is key as to why Climate Change has not yet become the moral issue it could. In these countries, Climate Change will lead to increased frequencies and intensities of drought, flooding, coastal inundation and erosion, storms and other weather-related disasters.  These hazards will have a number of direct and indirect effects on people and communities, including reduced availability of and access to land and natural resources,
