I think it is important to point out that WE is not just the the United States. India and China have become some of the worst polluters... of the atmosphere. AND Mexico, forget. They don't even have emissions standards in their cars. Walking the cobblestone streets in Miguel De Allende with the diesel cars my friends got migraines... from the fumes.

So, are you saying those graphs aren't true?

I don't have any problems with the graphs. Or the pictures of Florida. None of them predicted an underwater Florida in twenty years. The charts all end in 2000. And the pictures of Florida show feet, not years.

And now it's a question of how fast, and how much: what kind of world will our children inherit, and will they have any chance to fix it?

Indeed. It's a question. An open question. But not a simple one.

BTW, a few weeks ago I saw a show projecting a surge up the Thames. Very interesting that the gates along the river are under the control of individual property owners so each would have to raise his own section or there would be a breach.
