Yes, I believe that we should start now, since the consequences are possibly dire. Will it cost trillions? I don't know and frankly don't care, if the consequences are as serious as they might be. Surely, in the next ten years we'll have more and better data and will be able to make better assessments and within that period we won't have spent anywhere close to trillions. But if the officers on this boat want to close their eyes in a delusional attempt to make those icebergs and the threat they represent to disappear, some of the passengers are going to get restless and start heaving officers overboard.
