I agree, though this might lead to some inter-generational angst in
the short-term.

I remember Spike from uk weatherworld. On the first point he makes he
simply incorrect and on the second, he is insinuating something
incorrect, that recent sharp warming is urban-expansion induced.
All you have to do is take the temperature trend at a completely
rural site.

Whatever adaptation and mitigation steps we take in the next 20
years would have been far easier to do had we had the insight to do
them over the last 20 years.

Indeed. The steps that need to be taken now are unacceptable to our
global society so they won't be taken. Whether we like it or not we'll
have to watch while the catastrophe caused by climate change evolves
over the next decade or two and we try to play catch-up by going into
disaster management mode. I'm not at all convinced that the human race
will be able to adapt quickly enough to get through this. I suspect
that nature is about to do something about the over-population of the
human species.
