The comment I responded to seemed to imply that the US was hung between two paths and took no action.

I'm pleased to hear a response was made and hope Eddy_Viscosity2 sees your comment.

There were consequences, but only eventually as the depravity of what was happening became ever more apparent as the list of victims willing to speak out grew.

But in all the places this was happening, it was an open secret that it was happening for years before any meaningful response occurred. The first victims to speak out were not believed and even punished for how dare they accuse the holy priests of such behavior.

Will we see a similar tipping point for climate change where people on mass begin facing the issue head on? It hasn't happened yet.
