Because the drains out of the various bathtubs involved in the climate — atmospheric concentrations, the heat balance of the surface and oceans, ice sheet accumulations, and thermal expansion of the oceans — are small and slow, the emissions we generate in the next few decades will lead to changes that, on any time scale we can contemplate, are irreversible.

The perception that you may have of the «debate» in the media or politics is mostly due to the inevitable compression of news stories, combined with an apparent journalistic need to provide «balance» (see Chris Mooney's article on this), and well - funded campaigns by interests who are worried about what the reality of climate change might imply on the regulatory front.
