There is a simple fix for overheating--just reduce the amount of sunlight hitting the earth. You do this with artificial "clouds", which can be placed in stationery orbit between the earth and the sun, to reduce the amount of sunlight by about 1% or 2%. The "clouds" would be invisible since you would have to look direclty into the sun to see them (and even then they would be pinpricks in size.)
Next problem?

This time lag means policymakers cannot afford to wait to tackle climate change until its consequences become painful, because by then they will already be committed to further change, they urge.

It's nor often that my BS meter is triggered that soon into a posted article.

This article assumed two things which are far from being proven scientifically, and indeed may never be proven:

a) That warming is is anthropogenic

b) That man is capable of having any effect whatsoever no matter how much resources are thrown at global warming.

In short, it's a latest iteration of an old natural cycle and BS can't affect it one way or the other.

Global warming beats the alternative.

Accourning to these "experts", sounds like the only thing left to do now is to wrap our arms around our knees, place our heads between our legs, AND KISS OUR A$$ES GOODBYE!!!!!

All it takes is one or two volcanic eruptions to change the amount of greenhouse gases and to quickly affect temperature worldwide:

The oceans are warming due to increased volcanic activity. This will lead to a new ice age. Why? Warmer oceans produce more evaporation; more evaporation creates more rain, more rain leads to lower temperatures, which leads to more snow.
