And isn't it so, that the current climate effects we see today are from released greenhouse gases 20 or 30 years ago because of some inertia?

I imagine there's a cumulative effect, some greenhouse gasses from 20 years ago are still in the atmosphere and we're compounding that with the current emissions.
