28. And I'll not dispute your estimate
It's now clear that the climate "feedback loops" are already at work and changing things much faster than even the worst predictions of a decade or so ago.

And we have obviously abandoned even any pretense that we will take action to avoid the worst of it, so I agree, it is quite possible that we'll be heading towards the end-game here much earlier than we expect.

However, I'm now 60, and I like to think it will be at least 20-30 years until the worst of it happens because, well, you see, I'll not likely be around for much of the Mad Max era that beckons.

Forgive me if I cling to this comforting myth for a bit longer.
