Civilization's Last Chance

Here's a scary article in the LA Times: Civilization's last chance

It still frustrates me that there are so many people denying that global warming even exists. Of course we don't know exactly what will happen, but the vast vast majority of people who have spent their lives researching climate change are saying that the planet is heating up. Even worse, they are saying that we are rapidly approaching the tipping point, after which the earth will take over for us and heat up even faster.

It's like pushing a big boulder. It takes a lot of effort to get it moving, but once it goes, stopping it is even harder.

Remember this: 350 is the magic number. And we are at 385...
