It means just 1... er 2 more decades, for real this time. :P

  2 decades before what? We're seeing changes right now, are we not? People's lives are being impacted right now, are they not? Seems to me like those who said "we'll start seeing significant changes in 1-2 decades" around 2 decades ago were right on the money.

    Lots of people are in the "if it doesn't drastically impact my day to day life it doesn't really exists", which is a perpetual "in 1-2 decade" cycle since we're quite good at adapting. "it's just a bit warmer", "the forest fires are just a bit closer", "the floods are just a bit closer", &c.

      Some people will not be convinced by anything short of the actual destruction of our planet, and by the time that happens, nothing is going to matter anyway.
