I see a lot of changes happening. They are overdue, but indeed things are changing. We will suffer from climate change for at least a century or so (depending on whether we will master massive scale carbon sequestration or not), but it's not like humankind isn't trying to reduce CO2 emissions at all.

We're not trying at all. Co2E globally continues to rise. None of this is rocket science. And to be clear, it needs to have basically stopped ALREADY.

Right now, all we've done is make non binding "commitments" and then missed them...
