> But the real problem that we need to address is the changing climate. While some people may shake their heads, there is no way to deny that the weather patterns in the tropics are becoming progressively more unstable. Unfortunately, there is also no easy fix. It is going to require a collective effort by the human population to reverse the already apparent effects of climate warming.
I see it is virtually impossible to explain delayed effects to anyone.
Yes we can reverse it with more collective effort than has ever been applied in the history of our species towards a single thing, but that won't save us from the immediate consequences.
These are impossibly large systems that can't turn on a dime and even if we stop all emissions entirely, right now in this instant, we still bear a large brunt of the results from what we've already done so far. Sad to say it, but the time to save these sloths was 30 years ago at best.
