When the United Nations met in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 to deliberate on and sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, it seemed to delegates that what was being discussed then was relevant only in the dim and the distant future.

If only they knew what has just occurred in Mexico, and earlier on in Africa, from west to east.
