How dangerous is the climate change?

Climate change is a very dangerous thing indeed. But not in the sense that most people would assume; it is not the storms, floods, and droughts that are the most dangerous part. Rather, it is the way in which we are responding to it - or rather not responding - that is the most dangerous. We are all too quick to point fingers and assign blame, but rarely do we take meaningful action. We are content to talk about the issue and make grand statements, but we rarely take any meaningful steps to make a difference. This is the true danger of climate change - not the weather itself, but our own inaction. We must take meaningful steps to address this issue if we are to have any chance of combatting it. Otherwise, we will continue to watch helplessly as the climate continues to deteriorate.
