3C hotter. Earth's danger point. Now scientists say it is going to happen
THE world will warm by 3C (5.4F) even under emissions projections for 2050 that leading scientists consider optimistic, the United Nations group that studies global warming has said.
So... Whether you think it's greenhouse gasses, solar fluctuations, or like me - that it's a combination of both - the Earth is heating up.
What do we do?

Well, yeah... I guess some will keep covering their eyes. However, we can't run from it anymore is my point. No matter WHAT the cause is...

What we do is, we sto[ pissing around with distractions like Kyoto.
IF global warming is real on this scale (contentious) and is anything to do with manmade carbon emissions (also contentious), then there isn't a blind thing to be done about it, unless you think India and China can be told to stop growing. The west will be accused of colonial hypocrisy and nothing will happen.
As sensible minds have commented on this debate, resources should be employed on adaptation, not pointless attempts at prevention.

USH> What do you think is behind global warming then? (Did you read the Times article?)
If, as the climatologists I've spoken, it is a mix of solar fluctuations AND greenhouse gasses, should we not do both: Try to cut back AND adapt?

the most dangerous thing that can possibly happen is the thermohalene circulation stopping.
