Our Take
Goodell visits the places that will be underwater within this century — Miami Beach, Lagos, Rotterdam, Venice — and reports back with a calm that is more frightening than alarm would be. The science is sound, the politics are catastrophic, the real estate markets are in denial. The title is not a warning. It is a statement of fact that the powerful have decided to ignore.
