Excerpt from The 2100 Project: An Atlas for the Green New Deal.

Certainty is on the tip of every climate activist, scholar and writer’s tongue these days. We are certain we have only until 2030 to rapidly decarbonize the economy. We are certain that even if we do manage to meet this ambitious goal, sea levels will still rise another foot or so, demanding that our cities do the same, or that their people be relocated, away from our shifting shoreline. We are certain things are getting worse – convinced, even, that they are somehow worse than we’ve imagined.
