I first read about the "greenhouse" effect and rising sea level in the 70's. It seemed inevitable to me even then, as the world was entrenched in the oil economy. And here we are.

David is doing great work. I fear we, humanity, will only take this seriously when cities begin to lose a million through wet bulb moments every day & in the rich West not only in the South & poorer areas of the globe. In about 3 to 9 years?
