In 2003... the White House conspired with an oil-company funded think tank to block a major government scientific report that sought to spell out the dangers of climate change to Americans.

The last time Earth was 1°C warmer than today, sea levels were 20 feet higher.

If our government won't spend the money to protect New Orleans sufficiently today, what are the chances we will spend the money to protect dozens of coastal cities post-2050, once everyone knows that sea levels will keep rising and intense hurricanes will occur relentlessly?

On our current path, all our great Gulf and Atlantic coast cities are at risk of meeting the same fate as New Orleans.

Protecting dozens of major coastal cities from future flooding will be challenging enough-rebuilding major coastal cities destroyed by super-hurricanes will be an almost impossible task.

The United States could dramatically reduce its carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour without raising its overall energy bill.

Do believe that if we fail to act in time, it will be the single biggest regret any of us has at the end of our lives.
