nop, lol why be scared the evolution of the earth is consistently changing, I don't pretend to have a god complex and think we can actually change the daily temperatures consistently every day for the next 20 years to create a climate period we can then look back at and study

There is no way with out weather modification we will effect something as huge as a planet, let alone cleaning this one up replanting ALL the tree's we have cut down cleaned the oceans.

Even with Co2 sequestration rolled out in every corner of the earth i doubt it will effect global temperatures with in the next 20 to 100 years. Plus we really have no idea on the long term outcome even if we try to modify daily temperatures

We are here for the ride so hang on.

Such 'Crank' reports as this forever fail to tyake into account one simple, Natural Fact. ALGAE alone converts 20 Billion Tonnes of CO2 into Oxygen each year in our said Atmosphere. ALGAE supplies more Oxygen to this planet than all other living plants put together, and guess what ? The more CO2 supplied , the faster ALGAE multiples.

According to a recent BBC report, there is nigh on no ice left at / in or around the North pole region. IF that's true, then how come no mention of sea level rising fast ?????

While not wishing to detract from the larger point about the inevitable consequences of our reckless pursuit to exploit everyone and everything in sight for profit.... I would like to remind everyone what is being offered as an invaluable solution.... "carbon credits."

I'm certain no one would purposefully endanger the entire planet to encourage a movement towards another currency monopoly.... or perhaps create a furor over the idea for whatever nefarious purposes.

2030... that's not along time, is it?

These reports are all just a scam so that people can make more money. Nobody care about the climate. The solution to it all is very easy - invest and expand heavily in nuclear power (first cleaner safer fission, then fusion), electrify our entire vehicle ecosystem (it aint gonna happen if goverments dont force it).

We already have the technology for this entire two-part solution - we have had it for years. But is it going to happen? No. Because oil and car companies dominate the buisness and they dont want to. Not to mention the goverment is acting all retarded with the "enviromental" craze that's going on. Oooooh clean energy. F**k that. Its only making it worse. "Clean energy" in terms of for example windmills and solar power is like beating a dead horse to make it move faster. You may push it forwards if you beat it hard enough, but its quite inefficient.

I have said this before, and will no doubt have to say it again. It does not matter any more what the cause of global warming is. It matters not one whit if it is man made or natural. The real deal going forward, is what we can do to insulate ourselves against its effects.

Some believe that the effect cannot be reversed, and that only very small mitigations could be made at this point to the sum total effect, even if we never drove cars again, never burn fossil fuels at powerstations, quit smoking and used roll on deodorants from now on. So the real concern is, how do we prevent coastal regions and island nations from suffering total humanitarian nightmares in the time to come.

Thailand (at least I think it is Thailand) are commissioning architects to build floating houses on pontoons, and also floatable cities. This is one example of a pragmatic and sensible approach to the possible terrors of a future which will see sea level rise beyond the capacity of current infrastructure to withstand. But for one nation to be thinking about DEALING with that future, rather than some vain Canute like attempt to avert it, is not going to amount to a whole hell of a lot. The future we are looking at demands a united approach to saving lives all over the globe.

Remember, we are not supposed to be saving the world. The damned planet is trying to kill us, wether at a whim, or as a vengence for our idiocies and chemical excesses, and all we can do is try and survive.

In all honesty, I think people will survive no matter what happens, albeit in small pockets in the high mountains, or other high land areas. But there is a difference between survival on that scale, and the possible saving of the large majority of peoples across the world. Its no good individual nations surviving, and its no use single tribes of man hiding out in limited space in the mountains.

Mankind as the cancerous wretch that it is, must survive and become stronger and wiser, and it cannot do that if it is thrown into the dark ages by circumstances beyond its control. If mankind is to survive, and crucially if all our learning and knowledge are to survive, then there must be a unified approach to funding and building technological and logistical protections into the way we ALL live our lives.

Perhaps ultimately it is time we got off this rock and left for pastures new. Perhaps thats why the 100 year space mission is being dug over again at the moment. All I know is, trying to hold back the sea is a damned fine way of getting drowned. A submarine on the other hand....

100m isn't that much really.

I mean the world population grows right now at 56,039,074 people in one year.
So in 2030, the population grew with 1 billion compared of today.

My bet there will be many more then the 100m mentioned. Already you see the signs that this world isn't cooping with our destructive lifestyles and so on.

And the only things they have as an answer is carbon tax.. We are screwed..
Good thing I don't have kids.

don't you know? there is no such thing as climate change. what action? humans have no influence on the earth climate?

Come on listen to those people that think climate change and global warming due to humans is a hoax.

I don't put too much faith in these kind of predictions. Anybody can say anything and by the time twenty years goes by nobody will remember about it anymore than they remember what was said political or scientific twenty years ago.
