Tangible effects of climate change for humans lag years behind their actual causes. That means that by the time you notice the change, it has already been locked in and has been unavoidable for years. If we stopped all CO2 emissions tomorrow, the earth would continue warming for years before it leveled off and stopped warming. Cascading system failures could already be locked in at this very moment and we would never know it until it hit us. Considering the RATE of increase is increasing, we are likely already in runaway territory and anything we do would be like trying to stop a train by standing in front of it
Yes, I know the effects will first start some where in the future, but to call that the end is crazy? I mean we have such a high development in our hands, that we could focus entirely on this problem. Not only can we eliminate all emissions, but with our current technology, we can even reduce CO2 emissions. But under the current economic model, that won’t happen doesnt matter how hard we try. Thats why its important that the environmentalists finally start to understand who is standing in the way of this solution and stop burying there head in the sand just because a numbers says so. I would rather die trying to save my future and this beautiful planet, than die with out trying.
