What I hear the climatologists say,is that it doesn't matter about farming or earth moving if the crops fail,farm workers drop dead in the field,glacier-fed rivers are gone,tropical disease moves north,etc..
I'm no Pollyanna,and I'm not saying the transition won't be painful,but we can begin now,and have some proactive say in what happens,or let things progress unabated ,such that we'll be completely in a reactive posture.
This is why some are speaking with such urgency.
If you can see all the dots,and connect all the dots,and the emerging picture spells doom,then as Lincoln said,'To know and not tell makes cowards of men.'
