> If you try to make specific predictions, you’re going to turn people off. I think it's fuzzier than that. Like, I think it's extremely useful to say out loud that climate change will cause large tidal events in the relative short term (sea level rise in the long term). And that an immediate action is for cities like Venice, New Orleans, and Miami to ready themselves for that. It's specific and should be motivating for a large group of people to do something (or risk losing their homes and possibly lives). You have to hope they connect it to the larger picture of things happening too. > We don’t need to understand what’s inside the box when it arrives on our doorstep. We just have to avoid opening it. The problem with this is that a lot of folks will do nothing if you don't unpack the box for them and explain how it will affect them.
