I was standing, chatting with my friend on the tracks, when I observed a train in the distance. I moved just off the tracks. I did mention the train too my friend even though I was at risk of being accused of being an alarmist.
Climate change is a lot like that. The train has already left the station and only if we all work as a team can we derail it by tearing up the tracks. Trouble is that if we wait too long the train will accelerate to the point where we won't be able to stop it and nobody will be able to get off the tracks. Oh! ~there I go again, acting like one of those darned alarmists.
