>> This is a problem unlike I would say any we've seen before, and

this is why it poses such interesting questions.

>> It effects the food that we're trying to grow and

the water resource that we're trying to get for people.

So, climate change is very much intertwined with so

many other things that we care about and are important to humanity.

>> There needs to be a way to get beyond that I'm right,

you're wrong, to look, this is affecting all of us.

>> We're very good at maintaining all this information among the academic elite, but

we cannot convey the same information to the rest of the world and

And I think that's where the main work needs to be done.

society that matters and that has an impact on people's life's.

And, as we move forward, I think the worst part of it, is that those who are,

who least have the power to change their circumstances and to protect themselves,

are the ones who are most vulnerable and who will suffer the most.

this just seems like the kind of injustice that ought to be addressed.

>> There's a wonderful English proverb that is,

But it's also just thinking about, challenge as an opportunity.
