2. It is already too late. It is the same as when you have that second dessert or tenth beer. You know you will pay for it but you are already so far gone you believe you will be ok.

   We are already beyond the tipping point. The consequences are around us already with climate patterns shifting. We will have the consequences for decades and they will keep getting worse.
