I don't think we've seen any 'crisis' yet - we have certainly seen weather extreme devastation on many countries and continents -

and we talk using the word 'crisis' -------- but, I think for most - it's all too far off or somewhere else in a huge way - unless you are in a caravan after storm damage in SEQ or Cairns or Lismore

I suspect that the next 2 years might really bring the reality into focus - like trying to read a book without one's reading glasses - then, someone gives you a new pair from the pharmacy and you get an 'oh gosh' moment

I don't believe we can have these block busting temperatures of the last few years without some kind of major shit hitting the fan

and I don't mean to downplay things like a third of Pakistan underwater or the Canadian fires, or the fires in Texas or Hawaii --------- they are bad and bad enough

but, I think that there's a more likely than less likely chance of far greater catastrophe looming - I don't think we can get this level of rapid temperature rise and not have some massive extremes show up ------------ who knows what - massive droughts in a La Nina - a monster hurricane season for the north hemisphere ----- maybe a big or a couple of big cyclones for Oz - certainly if we get a La Nina later this year - Oz east coast is a sitting duck for major floods again - and perhaps a lot bigger than before

there are too many signs, too much evidence - unless this planet isn't as fragile as it seems - then, one should at least plan for some serious happenings

the job of a storm is to correct instability - and, by god - there is instability atm that wouldn't have been believed 50 years back - IMO - the planet will respond
and when that happens - what we know from history is that it's wise to get out of the way

whilst some talk of crisis ------- most don't sense crisis - I call it the peanut perception for many

I agree, and for us in Australia the timing of the next election will be something important to consider. We have had a relatively quiet time in terms of bushfires (WA Excepted) and floods. Politically, the Climate Wars are not going away.
