A child born today will experience an increase to sea level of about three to six feet. The rate of change is so remarkable and so dramatic. We are already seeing the consequences of man-made climate change.

The question is not, "Is climate change happening?" Nor is the question, "Is climate change man-made?" Rather, we need to realize itʼs already here, and start asking, "What are we going to do about it?"

I believe deeply that every one of us has an individual talent or trait that can be used to make a difference in some way.

There's a huge challenge around coral bleaching specifically, because when most people think about coral, they think about the beautiful, white sculpture sitting on their mantle. And it looks so pristine and clean and beautiful. It's not supposed to look like that when it's in the ocean. It has color, it has animal flesh living on it, it has plants living inside of that. They look very, very different when they're healthy in the ocean than they do when they're sitting in somebody's home.

We can and must use our combined skills at every opportunity available to address climate change.

I feel a responsibility to get the truth out into the world.

The consequences of man-made climate change are real and very significant.
