Climate summit in Glasgow

For many years, scientists estimated different timelines and temperature increase limits on the  global warming. At this point I cannot tell whether we have crossed the point of no return for sure. I think we have but, hey, who am I to tell you that?

This is where you can get a lot of information: UN COP26

The average temperature on Earth is now +1.5 ˚C pre-industrial level. The agreement with Kyoto Protocol was to limit the temperature increase to +2.0˚C pre-industrial level.  Paris Agreement also states +2.0˚C but it is in the trajectory of ... well let's look at this way. In order to achieve the real sustainability (not the big fat cats' version of mushy squishy feel better but don't care sustainability), it will reach 2.8˚C in 2100 Tomorrow (website)

Based on the Kyoto Protocol +2.0˚C, that's beyond the point of no return. The problem is we cannot definitively know that's the point and also, what effect we have to expect, plus we don't see the result in one's life time. 

It is really hard for people to commit to it because they don't see the full ramifications of it in their life time, whether that be the end of the world or gradual reversal from that. 

When people are having difficulty putting food on the table, this won't be their priority. If only we figured out a way to funnel the money to the people in need from the 1% and fund the necessary measures, people would be more aware and willing to participate in the effort.
