  1. Wrt. the ending... If we can't figure out how to stop destroying the Earth climate, then what makes us think we can terraform Mars or Venus to be a replacement?

  2. +Craig Noah There can only be 2 explanations: 1) You knew it all in advance. 2) You are applying the filter Michael Mann talked about.

  5. MadBrainBox In worst case - yes. However there's a lot of (still) catastrophic scenarios between recreating the Perm/Trias mass extinction and successful mitigation which still involves solving at least part of the problem.

  6. Glenn Howden If you think the effects of climate change has settled after 100 years, you are hugely mistaken. This is irreversible on any time scale meaningful to humans. It took the climate ~100.000 years to recover from the PETM.

  7. Imagine if we had acted in 1988, when James Hansen made this a public issue? Imagine how much damage 28 years of misinformation campaigns have done to future generations.

  8. MadBrainBox You completely missed the point. At that time the potential catastrophic consequences of burning fossil fuels were only know within a very small circle of scientist (like Svante Arrhenius). In 1988 there were no longer any excuse not to know.
