Too little too late?

It seems that the science on climate change is moving fast and last years reports are already out of date - it may be that we are committed to run away climate change as we have debated and delayed too long!
I am sad - sad that my generation didn't do enough and yet we have a government who jump fast to save the banking sector and now it would seem the motor vehicle sector too but dillydallyed over climate change until it was too late. I am sad that my kids will grow up into a hugely different world and life will be harder, possibly much harder than when I grew up.
But, depressed and pessimistic as I feel I will keep on going in making my lifestyle as green as I can and in campaigning and educating - why? In 30 years time if and when my kids ask me if I did anything to help I want to say yes, I did my part, I tried!
