We're soon going to see gradual, then more rapid migration of populations inland. And that's just in the U.S. It's going to be a real big mess if someone doesn't get everybody to listen up, get real, and get organized to mobilize.

At the same time, we'll get to deal with desperate refugees trying to get here from other drowning parts of the world. The Pentagon wasn't kidding when it said climate change will be our #1 security threat.
