It's the third that strikes me as potentially the strongest, especially the word "yet", because that implies that soon it may be too late, echoing Hansen's thoughts on tipping points. What's missing though is any elaboration of the point (ie what is the problem that will become insoluble, why will it become insoluble, what will be the consequences, Hansen goes into all that detail, namely the main problem is sea level rise of 5-15m over 200-300 years, we'll be beyond a tipping point because of societal and climate system lags and the consequences will be the abandonment of a lot of coastline - not that I agree with Hansen's line of argument, but I understand what he's got in mind).Heikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839810379331430109noreply@blogger.com
