Expect a sudden change

Comment on "Solving climate change? Why bother?" (March 17, China Daily).

Do you really believe that it is going to take a long time for a critical mass of peoples and their governments to realize that the coming crisis requires concerted efforts to have any chance of mitigating, and to start acting? I suppose this may happen much sooner than skeptics think. This year could see the beginning of the runaway effects of the crisis. In fact, the runaway effects may have already begun, but this year we may see a sudden rapid escalation.
