I think this cartoon really illustrates how climate change is a powerful force that has crept up on us (while we debate if it's really happening or not, which it is!) and how slow we are to be doing something about it. Now that we have decided (at the government level at least) that climate change is happening, we have to do something about it. The IPCC released new reports, states and countries are creating plans, but some of those plans are very vague and/or long term. I know that it can take time for projects to be put into action and then new structures build and kicked into gear. But that's why we need to start making decisions on what kind of renewable energy structure we're going to build now! Otherwise we're going to be swept way by climate change.
