And, by the way, ten years ago, when the movie
An Inconvenient Truth came out, the single most
criticized scene in that movie was an animated scene showing that the combination of
sea level rise and storm surge would put the ocean water
into the 9/11 memorial site, which was then
under construction. And people said, "That's ridiculous.
What a terrible exaggeration!" Something happened last night at one of the most iconic
locations in New York the World Trade Center,

with a current so strong it flooded the reconstruction. There is a wakeup call here, and that is climate change
and our vulnerability to it. It was true ten years ago,
it was true five years ago
