The beauty of climate change is that it’ll be too late by then.

A perfect civilisation killer, designing a better one would be a tall order.

I'm not sure "beauty" is the word I would have chosen.

But it's really important to emphasize this: by the time things get bad enough to really notice, it will be far too late to stop them from getting much, much worse. Once the permafrost starts to melt and release it's methane, it's game over (and that process has already begun).
