An inconvenient truth

It was the first movie I've watched at home after dinner and not fallen asleep.

That says something. What kept you awake?

Three scary numbers. 10, 40, 1 billion.

Ten?

Ten years is all we have.

Before?

Before the sea levels reach 40 feet above what they are now.

Forty feet? Why?

Ice cap and Greenland meltdown.

That will rewrite the maps.

Darn right. Maldives going under is minor. Think no Holland, no Bangladesh, no coastal areas of major world cities, all bubbling underwater.

And the one billion?

One billion displaced and bedraggled people knocking on doors to migrate.

Scary.
