and one I need to see evidence of and to date, no one has showed how run away global warming happens. NO ONE.As bad as a threat to the infrastructure is, the threat of melting clathrates, or frozen methane deposits, is far worse. Methane converts to O2 and CO2 in the atmosphere, and melting permafrost all over the world is going to trigger Runaway Global Warming, where it won't matter if we stop ALL burning of fossil fuels over night, Global Warming will increase on a feedback loop and the oceans will rise 300 feet or more.
Its likely already too late as we passed the 400 ppm of CO2 a year ago and 350 ppm was thought to be the max at which catastrophe could be avoided.
Ignore the bugwits that deny Global Warming, every human being on Earth is going to get a detailed horrific education on it in the next few years.
The Holocene Optimum was a good deal warmer than it is today....did your runaway global warming happen then? Of course not....prior to the beginning of the present ice age....atmospheric CO2 was over 1000ppm and there was no ice at all in the arctic....did your runaway global warming happen then?... The idea of runaway global warming is one of the stupidest ideas ever out of the climate science community...the normal temperature over the course of earth;s history has been so warm that no ice existed at at least one of the poles....ice at both poles is abnormal on this planet...
