By “the 50s,” do you mean the 1850s, when Eunice Newton Foote discovered the greenhouse effect, and calculated that CO2 emissions would change the climate? And when John Tyndall published the same thing, because the scientific community ignored her because she was a woman? Yeah, we could have started 170 years ago, but people just aren’t wise enough to do anything about climate change until it’s too late.
I think we need those excavators do dig our own graves, because this will probably not happen.
Yeah this needed to have started decades ago like when they figured out the model for climate change in the 50s

Yeah I am only aware of research from the 1950s and 60s but I don’t doubt it is based on a previous hundred years of research
Either way, we’ve had plenty of warning, which is why it’s so maddening.
Even now when climate change has visible effects, we can’t seem to get our shit together and do what we need to for our own sakes
