There's about a thirty-year delay, just like turning up a burner on the stove takes a while to heat the water. By the time people feel it that much, it'll be far too late.

We have to put on the brakes before we get irreversible feedback effects, where natural systems start emitting enough greenhouse gases that it doesn't matter anymore what we do.
