We have never been more prosperous, advanced, or strong than we are today. As a result, we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed by the speed at which the climate is changing.
On the surface, it appears straightforward. The Sun's rays are absorbed by greenhouse gases, which then release the energy into the atmosphere. As a result, the winters are warmer and the summers are harsher. Wet locations get wetter, and dry places get dryer as a result of global warming. A vast number of ecosystems will be destroyed as a result of the coastal cities we create as the waters rise.
