We are so screwed...

From the article:

While the data from the Landsat missions has proved invaluable, it has also been somewhat depressing. The satellites have amassed an impartial record of tropical deforestation in the Amazon, verifying the claims of environmental protection organizations. They have also cataloged increasing water scarcity in the Western United States and chronicled ice losses across the vast majority of Earth's glaciers.

The pictures of the shrinking Lake Powell reservoir and Lower Colorado River will make you cry... Sheesh.

3. Rising sea levels are going to hurt the most.

So far as Lake Powell goes, maybe this is an opportunity to remove dams that shouldn't have been built.

We humans ought to pick a cut-off date for fossil fuels, say fifteen years from now, and stick to the schedule as if we are fighting for the survival of this civilization, because we are.

4. I think we should start building the wall around the Great Lakes.

5. Growing crops with filtered Seas Water is being looked at

There are crops that will grow in sea water already. But finding a way to filter the sea water and dilute it to irrigate crops could be the key to the survival of our species.
