Many people think climate change primarily implies warmer temperatures, but temperature rise is only the beginning of the story. Because the Earth is a system, where everything is connected, every little change has the capacity to influence other aspects. Weaving through history and current politics, an illustrious panel evaluates the lessons from our past to better understand the impact of the climate crisis in our present and future.

Money does not build a new city, resources do. To convert resources into the city requires energy. Energy consumption augments global warming. We are using a large amount of resources just to repair damaged infrastructure, especially damage caused by global warming. That seems to be a positive feedback loop cause directly by human’s desire and “ need “ for comfort. All of the speakers look very comfortable.

This I a great example of why we are in such a precarious situation, Actual Stupidity.
