I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming.

And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.

Finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.
