And at that point, it will be far too late. Hell just look at France, Italy and Germany right now - France has had to cut output of their few remaining reactors that are not broken down because the rivers are too dry and hot to supply adequate cooling water, Germany's Rhine is almost incapable of letting ships float, meaning that the country's most important freight waterway is at 25% capacity and soon none at all, and in Italy the agricultural sector faces never-seen-before bad harvests due to the drought which is the hardest since 1800 [1] when the measurement of weather began.
We are already in the catastrophic scenario, we can only hope and act to make it not worse than it already is - but without panic there won't be any change!
