Running Out of Excuses?

Three former United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) executive secretaries have noted that, for 50 years, world governments have failed to act on climate change (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/02/for-50-years-governments-have-failed-to-act-on-climate-change-no-more-excuses). There have been many, worthy-sounding pledges. Governments have always found, however, a compelling reason not to do things 'at this precise moment'. The former UNFCCC officials maintain that this cannot go on. The climate change dangers are becoming ever more evident. It also appears that one can always nominate a war and/or an economic crisis, as a reason for inaction. They say there can be no more excuses. We are essentially 'running out of road'.
