...it must get annoying, but there are so many people out there who just don't understand what we're up against with the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere.

We keep reading about individual effects of climate change that are just starting to happen, but we never stop to think about all the different effects and how they add up, how they compuond each other, and how this whole thing is only just starting to be noticable.

As we keep pumping out more CO2, we're making things so much worse further down the line.

I can only hope that by reminding people that, yes, this is just the beginning of the ecological chaos we're about to suffer through, that maybe folks will begin to give the whole situation the attention and concern it deserves.

I'd like to add 'before it's too late' to that last sentence, but it already is. The best we can hope for now to stop things from getting SO bad that our society can't stand the strain.
