Here's an article with headline, "Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040": https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-report-2040.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-repo... And yet it says, "The report details the economic damage expected should governments fail to enact policies to reduce emissions.

That's about 18 months of average growth. That doesn't seem like a crisis to me - what am I missing?
