   This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.

   Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.

   But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen before, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.

   The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.
