Gov. Brown says climate change creates Titanic-like scenario for world
The governor said the world needs to make significant changes in order to prevent an irreversible "tipping point" in the environment, and he compared the situation to the sinking of the Titanic. “The music was playing. They were all in their finest clothing. But the damn thing went down," he said. “We’re talking about something like that for the whole human experiment.” Brown said the threats from climate change are grave and numerous: “Migration, hunger, war, a major assault on civilization as we know it. The stakes couldn’t be higher, even though they’re not immediate.”
