"I think there are quite a few different options in the real world too."
I reckon so too. I also believe we now have sufficient evidence as to the causes of the problems and that we've ways to start fixing them.
However, we seem to be behaving as if we need to grind the information to a 100% certainty before we act. We don't need this high level of granularity to do so, so I suspect consensus (politics) and inertia are the key delaying factors. Unfortunately, history has shown they're tenaciously difficult to alter.
