A post from another thread.
Certainly we are surviving today's level of AGW.
There are many things left to ponder though.
If we stopped today, what would be the ultimate consequences of our present GHG concentrations? Especially considering positive feedbacks.
We can't stop today, so our choice really is, how much of the carbon still in the ground should we leave sequestered?
We have to progress to sustainable energy at some point. Will we release all of the carbon that created a planet inhospitable to life the last time it was in our atmosphere no matter what we do? That would be utterly disastrous.
There are thousands of affordable ways to slow down the rate of making things worse, if, in fact, we still can avoid worse.
The only way that we're going to find them is through the work of the IPCC.
