I appreciate your efforts to avoid panic, but in doing so you risk taking a Pollyanna attitude that badly misses the point that at this time grossly inadequate efforts are currently in place, and each year we see “surprises “ demonstrating a cascading acceleration of causes of increasing warming not currently factored into our models. The scene is dramatically worsening. Many climate scientists quietly admit we are now past the tipping point, and it will only rapidly, in spits and spurts get worse. It is past time for anxious, highest priority action by ALL governments, as close to panic as they can get without sacrificing rational action.
