The last chance to end the climate disaster was likely the mid 19th century. The invention of anesthesia in the 19th century and antibiotics in the 20th century, which led to the catastrophic decline in the human death rate, made the climate disaster and mass extinction of the 21 Century essentially inevitable. Barring the unlikely possibility some fluke disease wiping out many billions of people soon, the cake is baked. IMHO.
