All JOSEPH J. ROMM Quotes about “Today”

“If our government won't spend the money to protect New Orleans sufficiently today, what are the chances we will spend the money to protect dozens of coastal cities post-2050, once everyone knows that sea levels will keep rising and intense hurricanes will occur relentlessly?”
“Some 3 million years ago, when the earth was a little more than 3Â°C warmer than preindustrial levels (about 2.2Â°C warmer than today), Antarctica had far less ice and sea levels were a stunning 25 meters higher than today. If we stay on our current emissions path, the planet will almost certainly be that warm by the century's end.”
“The last time Earth was 1Â°C warmer than today, sea levels were 20 feet higher.”
