For waverers, unbelievers and those who think we have plenty of time to do something I recommend this book. It looks at a wide range of climate modelling studies and graphically describes high CO2 eras from the Earth's geological past while considering how similar conditions today would impact on human civilisation. While current CO2 concentrations are still much lower than (eg ) in the Cretaceous or Permian ages, the current rate of rise is faster than in any previous era and the time we have to avoid future catastrophe is shorter than you may have thought.
