The way I look at this:

1) Science has known about the risk of too much CO2 in the atmosphere for over 100 years.
2) We all were warned, publicly, that this risk was upon us over 30 years ago (James Hansen testimony to Congress).
3) Most of us didn't pay much attention.
4) The issue became political when 1 of our 2 major parties decided to reject the science.

5) Some of the world took it seriously, but much of the world didn't.
6) Despite everything a lot of progress was made, in particular regarding invention and deployment of new clean energy technologies.
7) We have people with the correct ideas.
8) But we wasted a lot of precious time. So now we are up against it.
9) The future is uncertain. But we know if we fail it will be seriously bad.
10) So let's all get busy.
