28. Building Boom in U.S. Roughly 89 million new or replacement homes will be built in U.S. over next 30 years to keep up with population growth. By 2030 about half of the buildings in America will have been built after 2000

30. Climate Change

31. “ Best estimate that temperatures will rise between 3.2 º to 7.8 º by 2100” “ Sea levels could rise 7 to 23” by end of century” “ 90% certainty that global climate change is caused by human activity”
