I am so, so tired of hearing people say that we will face a climate crisis unless we reduce carbon emissions immediately. The opportunity to avert a crisis ended around 2000. Since then, we've had the opportunity to make the crisis less devastating, with the minimum possible level of horror and misery increasing with each year we fail to act. What's more, even if we halted all carbon emissions tomorrow, global warming would continue for decades.
We are in the crisis RIGHT NOW.
