Apocalyptic meanderings

What exactly is meant by "before it's too late" We know from the data which East Anglia's climate unit tried hard to supress that the medieval warm period was hotter than the most extreme projections of the carbon emitting Lysenko's. If those pilgrims had used horses rather than SUV's to motor down to Canterbury we would no doubt be living in Utopia by now. Instead we're all going to fry in boiling oceans. I think this trio of worthies setting out the key issues would once have been called millenarians. Every age should have some.
