    The environment/global warming will have a “9/11 moment” when a major US city is rendered permanently uninhabitable due to rising sea levels. Katrina in Louisiana should’ve been it, but that was poor people with dark skin, so that wasn’t really a problem. Plus, the water eventually receded, so we could pretend like the problem was temporary.

    After it happens, there will be alot of hand-wringing about “What could have been done to prevent this?” and “Why did this happen?”
