We&amp;#x27;ve literally got people sitting in boats in lakes or the sea while their towns burn around them; this in a country with well developed fire-fighting infrastructure and well trained personnel. Action now won&amp;#x27;t kick in for a decade or two, best case, but that doesn&amp;#x27;t make it any less urgent.</text></comment>
