So the timetable is off a bit. There's still much being learned about the effects of warming and the role negative feed back loops will play. Does it make you feel somehow vindicated that the Maldives will exist as a nation for a few more years and that widespread starvation and disease in impoverished places like Bangladesh is pushed back a little bit? My take after much reading and thinking is that the start will be slow but once it really gets going - look out.
