Pete S,

Really. I don't think so.

I understand that at about 550 ppm CO2 the temp will be 6 degC above pre-industrial level (now 1.6 degC @ 390ppm) and it will be so hot that some parts of the planet will start to boil.

But don't waste your time doing anything to stop it happening.

BECAUSE IT IS TOO LATE.

BECAUSE IT IS TOO LATE
Mr Opinion,
I agree with you on that, the cleansing of the Planet is already underway !

There is an 11-year cycle in both the waning and waxing phases! In the waning phase, the bottom of that cycle makes the sun the least active! And in the photos, takes on the fried egg look that is part of the 11-year cycle during the waning phase. They're two different phenomena!

Mr O/Mr defeatist, it's only too late when you are six foot under. It's something akin to base jumping. Were you say as you pass each story, so far so good as you jump pull the cord and as you wait for the chute to open.

We're being defeated by diabolically determined do nothing delay, desperate defeatism and deliberate dumbed-down debate!

There are actions we can take and all of them dependant on vast cheap clean energy! See the FB vids I've shared.

I mean, if I found myself in the Bull's paddock and he charging me? I'd find the motive power to clear the fence in a single straight arm bound! Even if that required coming face to face with my Annus, take a shower and a clean change of underwear. Oops, where are those clowns when you need one!?

Legs, if you caint go any faster? Move over an let dis year body tru.

Cape Canaveral, on the launching pad and the gas propulsion projectile system is firing, yes, we have launch with extreme prejudice, f!

individual,

What do you mean by "the cleansing of the Planet is already underway"?

Alan B.

I'm not being facetious.

It is basically too late to fix the problem because the problem is just too big to fix.

Even if you slam the brakes on right now it will take up to 100 years for the atmosphere to respond.

If it does that is, because the warming atmosphere at its current rate will begin releasing methane and ocean CO2 into the atmosphere long before 100 years from now.

So that's why I say it is too late.

Basically we are looking down the barrel at our extinction event.

Do what I'm going to do: move to a higher altitude and install lots of air conditioning.

Taking the current global average temperature to be higher than pre-industrial revolution temperatures, wherein the planet was experiencing the ‘little ice age’; you know, when they held the ‘ice fairs’ on the Thames river, one is not really surprised that there is a temperature increase as the ice age receded.

This increase could possibly be a global average increase of 1.6 degrees by today. Given the CO2 levels of that period to be around 270ppm, (anything less than 250ppm all green plants die), we can extrapolate that the increase to 390ppm (approx 1% of that increase being the result of the intervention of human a like agriculture, coal and oil usage) then that increased CO2 level could possibly have some peripheral affect on global average temperature.
