GHG do not have any impact on the temperature until they reach the high troposphere (the way GHG work is nothing like a greenhouse btw). C02 surplus at ground level takes 20 years to reach the level it has an impact on, and have a 'half life' there of almost ten thousand years.
Today, the climate is impacted by emissions made in 2003. Emissions from today won't have an impact before 2043 (on the climate. Still have an impact right this moment on the oceans acidity btw).
I'm not doom and gloom though. Your kids will suffer, but I'll probably make it just fine. Still, I'm making all I can to preserve future humans some pain, but I feel like I'll stop making efforts soon.
