We've probably left it all too late to keep from crashing thru the +2°C ceiling that the Climate Nerds have been trying to warn us about.
What's important now is to figure out how to get ready for the Global Cluster Fuck heading our way. (I'm not holding out a lot of hope on that one btw, simply because we still can't figure out to stop short of bashing each other over the head with sticks and rocks for fuck's sake, but anyhoo)
There's a weekly news show on HBO called VICE. It's only half an hour, and kinda scatter-gun, but they pick good topics and they spend a good 12-15 minutes on each story. Kinda like what we used to think 60 Minutes used to be - but withoutthe asshole Mike Wallace.
Here's the "debrief" on the Greenland Is Melting segment from last night's show:

VICE on the web
Fun Fact: The Greenland Ice Sheet is disappearing at a much faster rate than they predicted 10 years ago - it's accelerated to the point where it's something like 60 years ahead of schedule. Once it's all melted, the world's sea level will be a solid 20 feet higher than it is now.
Oh yeah - watch for the bit about how Antarctica has now joined the fun as well.
Enjoy.
