Indonesia's earthquake disasters aren't just acts of nature — human-driven climate change, rampant deforestation and irresponsible mining have made the country far more vulnerable to cascading catastrophes. The biggest obstacle is denial: Indonesia leads the world in climate change skepticism, which paralyzes the policy action needed to protect millions of people. Ignoring the human role in amplifying natural disasters is a choice, and it's costing lives.
