And so it takes time but when you see the need for such changes, then changes tend to follow.

Climate has always changed. It always has and always will. Sea level has always changed. Ice sheets come and go. Life always changes. Extinctions of life are normal.

The modern predicament is the set of problems these changes have bequeathed us.
