The response to this march would refute that finding

Actually, I would say it proves it.

Huh? The march was directed to one ignorant man who is in denial - Trump! The level of support for climate change and scientists is clearly shown on the 600 marches!
There are plenty of people who are aware that climate change is happening, that - unless we act 'now' or 'soon' it may be 'too late'. I know from things you have posted before that you come into that camp. But the article was about the fact that we have already gone 'too far'.
"Our best scientists tell us insistently that a calamity is unfolding, that the life-support systems of the Earth are being damaged in ways that threaten our survival."
I heard today that Trump is, predictably, dragging his feet re. confirming the commitment to cut carbon emissions, made in Paris (2 years ago) on climate change. He said that he will make a decision as to whether or not to sign up next week. I am SO angry at his damn arrogance and moronic attitude! Is US so powerful that they can jeopardize this important deal? It can go ahead without this idiot can't it?
Sadly the behaviour of morons is, well, moronic; stupid is as stupid does. It's probably wholly unrealistic to expect anything other than that from a man who showed exactly what he is throughout his campaigning.
I HAD once hoped we might have read him wrong, that there was more to him than we saw before he became president - yeah, right!

The Paris agreement was a drop in the ocean - there was nothing in it that could change anything, even if we had time to change. That being so, there's no point in worrying about what Trump does or doesn't do.

Trump represents a huge country so that's a lot of cut carbon emissions!
Something is better than nothing, i.e. confirming their commitment to cutting back on carbon. Clearly you feel it is all too late then. Why bother even posting on the topic then? I feel you DO still have some hope (if that's not a swear word to you).

You're right! I fear that if anything ever gets agreed it will be too little and come too late. I'll probably be dead but I feel for the generations who face unprecedented, severe climate changes. Teflon Don will be remembered just in history books.

This will be your generation. This is already your generation. Unprecedented, severe climate change is already with us. On the plus side there won't be any history books.

Whatever you feel I have is in your head.
Yes. It's too late. All hope is doing is blinding us to the reality. What do you think can happen? Realistically, not hopium.

Well what I felt was accurate then (not in my head/imagination) since you confirm what I said you felt, i.e. that it's too late.
Hoping can be like wishing....no harm in it if supported by measures to bolster that wish.
Can happen or will happen? I think there are too many variables (as I have said before). Predicting on the current scenario is not to factor in these unforeseen, influential variables.

You MIGHT be right that the changing weather patterns herald the start of the severe changes that are down to humankind rather than natural global cycles and variations.
It's hard to sort out how much is natural and how much is human activity and largely acedemic unless humankind acts globally to minimise future impact. And that's not looking likely right now but who knows what of the future?
Never say never - look who's president of the USA!
