The next 10 years will be critical for adapting to and mitigating climate change. Being well informed about the risks and causes of climate change helps us to make the best decisions in the present, but it is still not possible to predict the future with 100 percent certainty. Climate change is happening much faster than efforts to address it, and the past is not a reliable indicator of the future[1]. Going forward, the future is uncertain. This understanding creates discomfort (a sense of things being out of control), but also opportunity[1]. There is still time to avert the crisis, if action is taken now.
