We know the important actions;

-reduce FF emissions ASAP.

That's not an action, that's an intermediate goal (with the end goal being reducing global warming, or climate change, or having a better future climate then otherwise or whatever)

Its also rather vague even as a goal. Reduce by how much? How soon is that possible?...

We know how to do it.

There are all sorts of ways to do it. Doing it without causing more harm then benefit is the hard part, esp. if your trying to make larger very quick reductions.

. People are doing it now...
Uruguay makes dramatic shift

So all we have to do is be a small poor country with low electricity use and the Uruguay river running through our territory...

In fact, he says that now that renewables provide 94.5% of the country’s electricity

Uruaquay is one small country, that uses about as much electricity as one large nuclear power plant. It has a huge hydroelectric capacity for its size, and low electricity use (even compared to other Latin American countries, much more so compared to the US) and despite that fact it only gets by with so little fossil fuel use by importing electricity (when there is a lot of rain it can export but overall its been a net importer). As for overall energy use in Uruguay close to half of it is fossil fuels.

respond to the effects which are occurring.

Again very unspecific, but something that in general terms I can agree with. With the reservation that most of what's claimed to be an actual already existing effect of AGW can not solidly be attributed to GW.
