    We could tell you where we are right now without having to wait for 2100.

    Global warming is causing a lot of yearly destruction that is getting more and more expensive. It is helping create a world where only the wealthy can prosper.

    Hawaii didn’t use to burn but it’s a thing now. California used to have a fire season, it’s all year now. Oregon is a tinder box. Arizona was always an inhospitable hellhole, it still is so that one doesn’t count.

      Consider that effects lag the state, so that what we’re seeing now is from damage we did years ago. Even if we were perfect tomorrow, we still have some warming and suffering to go.

      I have no point other than to buckle up.
