In a Huffington Post interview, Neil deGrasse Tyson says things will change when people lose their wealth. If we lose the ice-caps, the water around NYC will come up to the Statue of Liberty's elbow. One commenter suggested that the rich will pay attention when their money gets soggy.
Tyson's hopeful that our our species will still be here (Kolbert is not so sure), but we're responsible for exiting a very stable existence.
Climate change is an emergent scientific truth. There have been multiple research investigations from a variety of people who normally compete, coming to a consensus. Tyson's disappointed to see people cherry-picking ideas - particularly politicians responsible for the governance of the nation, whose decisions should be based on objectifiable truth.
But there must be a way we can change things before the soggy money scenario.
