In a presentation to the Institute of International and European Affairs today, I was asked a great question: if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide today, how long is the “lag” before the climate system responds? Here is a great answer to this question (hint: decades) www.climate.gov/news-feature...

I was also asked how governments can help communities adapt to rising sea levels and risks of inundation. So we talked about the need for leadership and assistance with moving people to safer places. Frankly, the insurance market will drive some of this. www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/...
