SERIOUS Times Ahead.

It is now said that the Earth's climate system was about twice as sensitive to carbon dioxide pollution as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had found. This means that there is already enough greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere to cause 2 degrees of warming, bringing about conditions not seen on earth for 2 to 3 million years and constituting, according to Jim Hansen and colleagues (Hansen, 2007), "a degree of warming that would surely yield dangerous climate impacts". Hansen and co say that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385ppm [parts per million] to at most 350ppm." This, they argue, can only be achieved by phasing out all conventional coal burning by 2030, and by aggressively reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by capturing it in growing tropical forests and in agricultural soils. That a rapid phase-out of coal is in itself not enough is elegantly illustrated by the fact that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere would remain above 350ppm for 200 years were a coal phase-out to be achieved within the next decade or two, and nothing else done. Yet the point of no return is, in all probability, less than 20 to 40 years away.
Is this possible?
HOW? WHO? WHEN??????????
