Well said
Scientists study this stuff for a lifetime but the laymen think they know better, we make people highly educated experts but we will not listen to them
The scientific community has never had a consensus of an uncontrollable climate taking off in a "few years" (decades maybe) unlit recently saying our time is soon approaching before we lose control of it
But they have warned of us for decades not of impending doom in a few years but a gradual deterioration over decades, and we are seeing it happen, you have to have your head in the sand to miss it
Keep in mind science never stays still, it improves with better data, better instruments, and better collaboration, it's now that we have more data and better models than we had 10, 20, 30 years ago https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Now Scientists see this is accelerating and it will get worse in a shorter time than previously thought if we don't effectively act
Once the climate passes a certain tipping point even stopping all pollution/carbon in a single day will have no affect, we lose control of the situation and are at the climates mercy (we haven't got long, particularly knowing how slow we are to react positively in fixing this with every excuse under the sun being dreamed up)
