I think it’s prudent to look at the climate data and assume the worst case for rapid warming with an accelerating rise in sea levels. But to do so also puts any government or corporate entity that has status quo interests into a quandary.

Such entities have to be concerned (in their collective mind) about continuing to exist and exercise power in a global reordering of nature, borders, food harvests, and assumed stability.

The outcomes are fuzzy and the pathways to being relevant in a completely altered nature the is changing with exponential speed can have the effect of stuttering decision making. The uncertainty of our coming unknown (a new un-lived experience) makes people, governments, and corporate entities hesitant in changing courses toward dramatic action.

We are experiencing a time of confusion as nature reorders herself.
