Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’
I'm.sure they're trying to figure oir how to get extra crusies to go there so tourists can view it before it's gone /s
They predict 2 ft (0.6 m) and then another 10 ft (3 m) of sea level rise. I wonder how big a change in habitable surface will be, but there's a nice site to visualise changes in sea level , and also NASA tools, but those are more complex. There's also one about the US
Anyway, it's a lot, and I wonder if that might make some people want to reconsider how climate affects their lives
- Phew, my office is the whole three blocks away from the local danger zone 😌
  
  Wow. Virtually every highway in the country will be disrupted.
- I get the feeling nobody will reconsider anything until they are personally effected.
