I think we are going to hit the wall. I see no evidence that our various leaders take the urgency of Global Warming seriously. My family, friends and neighbors have bought into the no hurry theory.
I suspect you're right, Toby. There's really no sense of how little time we have remaining to act and how much time will be necessary to do anything meaningful. This is not a static challenge. It's growing, becoming ever more intractable. Hence it becomes a candle burning fiercely from both ends. We have less and less time in which we'll be required to do more and more.

Anyong said....Scientists have identified another consequence of global warming that is likely to accelerate climate change still further
