According to this, that's what the cost of ignoring global warming is up to now. Along with the prospect of seeing whole cities, and even nations, disappear.
We desperately need to shift the focus from dire predictions of the seemingly inevitable, and start talking about the nature and cost (and, perhaps, the economic benefits) of taking positive action. It's the only chance we have of getting people to stop thinking about this as either a hoax, or as the inevitable. It's neither of those things--but it may be the latter, unless we start putting our best feet forward now.
Will we do it? At the very least, $60 trillion is hanging on the answer.
