In 1966, as now, our best scientists do not know the exact timeline for Global Warming, it's specific weather changes in specific locations, or the timeline for melting ice and rising sea levels. The coal companies in 1966 were right, that all of the ice on Greenland and Antarctica will melt, if we kept going on our previous course of coal/oil/gas. If we can turn things around, and make our energy generation efficient in the long term, which means 100% renewable energy, soon enough, then we can prevent the worst from happening. Regardless, there will definitely be short-term pain, and possibly a LOT of it, such as the loss of all of South Florida as a habitable location.

I recently flew over Southern Greenland, and there was a LOT of black rock, which is a very big problem, as all of that black rock absorbs the sun's energy, and then melts the ice around it, leading to more black rock. I am 99% sure that if I did the same flight 80 years ago, all I would have seen is ice and snow.

If you do your best to read and understand the science behind Global Warming, you would probably realize that the idea that all of the ice on Greenland and Antarctica ALREADY being gone, is not realistic. We are humans, with VERY short lifespans relative to timeframes of climate changes on Our Earth. We have only been burning coal since about 1700, and we have only been using large amounts of oil since some time after the 1920s. These are very short timeframes relative to Our Earth's timeline.

Also, it is easier to understand Global Warming if you realize that the Coal/Oil/Gas industry has been promoting Fake News about their negative affects on Global Warming for decades.

We, as taxpayers, will be responsible for the costs of resettling millions of Americans away from their homes on the coasts, as our sea levels continue to rise. We are stupidly allowing more development in areas sensitive to sea level rise, because Our Government, and Our Leaders, are corrupt and they are not looking out for the long-term health of Our America. The economic downturn from the loss of habitable land in South Florida, will be much, much worse than the economic downturn of 2008. Too bad for us!
