Like any journalist interested in learning about the impact of climate change on a place, he interviews scientists, engineers, community organizers and the like. You are there at a rare lunch that Mr. Ariza attends with one of his mother’s wealthy real estate clients — rare because a son writing a climate change book can ruin a multimillion dollar transaction. Were you worried about climate change when you were growing up in Miami? What does your mom think about your climate change worries? She, you know, believes in climate change, understands what it’s going to do, is very worried about it and wants to see some kind of action taken.
