... but the world's governments each see economic growth as the prime necessity. It's like a race for economic survival. The planet comes last.

People are the problem. For example - current efforts by the Australian Governemnt to address climate change is meeting massive 'people' opposition. As indicated by this scientific research the issue is real and growing.

No shi@, the flywheel effect is so strong that even when people are pushed far enough, no longer being able to ignore reality, it will still take generations to begin to halt and then reverse the effects of global warming.

This is just the "tip of the iceberg" so to speak. Wait until warming really gets going. Sea levels have been rising, but the rate is going to pick up if we don't get serious about global warming.

may the non-believers in climate change be the first to be flooded...unfortunately it won't happen this way and those who will be first and most affected are probably not the ones causing it....
