#2It's going to happen faster than we've been told. I expect in 10 years global panic will set in.

#4Climate change will create the first trillionaire.
Find every machine that eats fossil fuels and electrify it. Find every crop that requires stable land and predictable weather and farm it in a shipping container. Find every underlying infrastructure that requires decades to pay off and decentralize it.
Instead of water line pipes, pull water out of the air. Instead of fiber optic cables make LEO satellites. Instead of refrigerated transportation, grow food in your pocket or your stomach. Instead of roads, take to the air. Instead of high power transmission lines that cause fires and burn down trees, build island-mode ready microgrids.
Build a better world, a template for all worlds to come.

Greenland's massive ice melt wasn't supposed to happen until 2070.
It seems even the scientific predictions can be too conservative. The changing climate isn't a linear system, it's more like a step function. Once the ice melts it's much harder to get back.

It is probably more correct to state that solutions that allow us to adapt-to or reverse the effects of greenhouse gases on our environment will result in trillions of dollars in value to humanity at large.
Whether that that value-creation gets concentrated or not is some combination of randomness, individual choices, and politics.

everything described above is a good thing. Why do you care that someone will become insanely rich by improving lives for millions?
