Hansen et al actually did make it far more urgent:

Earth’s Most Famous Climate Scientist Issues Bombshell Sea Level Warning - 10 feet+ in as little as 50 years

The point I'm stressing is the new role of "Regenerative Agriculture". Heavily documented.

It's not just about food security in a warming world; it's also about the only feasible way for for stopping or reversing rise of CO2 & global warming disaster. OR it COULD have been.

I think there is a fair chance we and not just the polar bears will all be extinct long before then. Imo the situation is past critical and the vultures are going to drill the Arctic with a better than 80 % chance of a major oil spill in the next two years.
Of course we personally must do what we can.

Two-degree target may still cause catastrophic sea level rise, James Hansen warns
Hansen is longtime NASA scientist

But this one paragraph caught my eye:

This, combined with a rapid transition to renewable energy and more efficient forestry and agriculture practices to sequester carbon, would reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels down to a safer level 350 parts per million by 2100, helping to restore the Earth’s energy balance

That can only refer to the Rodale-MIT trials on Regenerative Agriculture. Which we work with in some form.
