Dealing with Climate Change
While what Bill Nye said here is true, here are a couple of points:
Obviously, there are parts of the globe that will be inhabitable far into the future, even as most of the globe is subject to extreme levels of heat, desertification, flooding, etc. Here, I’m talking about land masses that are far above sea-level, and relatively cool, due to their latitudes. For example, most of Canada will be in good shape far longer than India.

If we can get through the coming four years without a series of major catastrophes, we should count ourselves lucky beyond belief.
