Human created climate change is a fact for anyone who pays attention. The effects of climate change are mounting. Although it may be a runaway exponential process, the current effects are not so dramatic that people can't live with them. Many of the most significant effects will appear near the end of the century.

All of the people who make decisions that would affect climate change will be dead by the end of the century. Climate change will be a problem for future generations, so people don't take steps now to address it.

Climate change is a problem that people are really bad a dealing with because it is so far out in terms of human lifespan. Unfortunately, by the time the effects are dramatic, it will be too late to do anything more than take steps to live with them.
