Much of the concern about climate change is around the idea of “the big impact,” a single, colossal disaster that dramatically impacts everyone on the planet, much like the scenario depicted in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. While such an event could happen, it’s not the most likely way we will be impacted by our changing climate. A more plausible scenario involves ‘death by a thousand cuts,’ with numerous smaller impacts occurring simultaneously or in close succession. Each impact on its own might be manageable, but collectively they could sum up to a significant problem.
That’s one of the cuts, so keep your excitement up!
What if they are into that? Guess I have to thankful life expectancy is going down in the states won’t have to live in the worse of it. My kids, on the other hand, are screwed.
Wish we had an answer, but unfortunately, the rich and powerful are keeping us from solving this issue.
