"Global climate change is the transformative problem of this century"  Romm is taking "An Inconvient Truth" to even less convenient conclusions.

If We Delay Acting…

§         We will see coastal property values crash

§         We will see the SW enter a permanent drought (because of expansion of the tropics)

§         We will lose all soft power

§         Biofuels will disappear as an option – because of a focus on land for food



Climate Bottom Line:

If there are 10 more years inaction – Greenland goes.

If there are 20 years – serious Antarctic ice loss

§         Sea level rise 6 to 12 inches per decade possible

§         Plus mega-droughts and super-hurricanes

§         U.S. consensus misses most major feedbacks

§         If we lose the tundra, we lose a livable climate

§         Deploying technology NOW is our only hope
