Those consequences have already started and are accelerating at a rapid rate. Think of the expanding number of hurricanes, the horrific fires in California, in other western states, Australia, the Brazilian Amazon, etc., etc. The melting of permafrost in the north is already releasing huge quantities of stored methane. It goes on and on. Quite frankly, to MY view, it is already too late to avoid massive changes to the earth's climate which endanger every aspect of life, including the lives of mankind. This initiative is a MUST!	-
