Professor Ilan Kelman discusses his new book "Disaster by Choice", which offers an uncomfortable truth -- that the majority of 'natural disasters' are created or exacerbated by human choices. An earthquake shatters Haiti and a hurricane slices through Texas. We hear that nature runs rampant, seeking to destroy us through these 'natural disasters'. Science recounts a different story, however: disasters are not the consequence of natural causes; they are the consequence of human choices and decisions. Professor Kelman explores the social, political, and economic factors in our decision making around natural hazards and what we can all do to improve outcomes for everyone.
