tijdsvertraging, waarmee vrijwel niemand rekening mee houdt
  we zien nu nog maar een begin, zouden er tien jaar emissies 'bij op moeten tellen'

- emissies gaan nog steeds niet omlaag, terwijl ze snel en drastisch moeten omlaag gebracht worden

verschillende meningen over ‘klimaat kapot’, zie columnist (Washington Post?) die uit gaat van ‘te laat’

 

Future global carbon dioxide emissions pathways - weather will get more extreme - Jeff Masters

We find ourselves in an ever-deepening chasm of climate change impacts, forced to run a perilous course through dangerous rapids of unknown ferocity. Our path will be fraught with great peril, and there will be tremendous suffering, great loss of life, and the destruction of much that is precious.

It is inevitable that climate change will stop being a hazy future concern and will someday turn everyday life upside down. Very hard times are coming. At the risk of causing counterproductive climate anxiety and doomism, I offer here some observations and speculations on how the planetary crisis may play out, using my 45 years of experience as a meteorologist.

There are too many talented and dedicated people who understand the problem and are working hard on solutions for us to fail.
