We have altered the fundamental state of the climate so far at this point that massive changes are unstoppable. The Halocene epoch, the past 11,600 years, was very unusual in its climate stability, +/-1 degree C. That's because the planet had achieved homeostasis, regulation of its own climate. We have destroyed that, I won't beat around the bush. We can't go back because we can't restore the physical state of the planet. The changes that we have put in place will continue to accelerate the changes in the state of the climate. Climate scientists have screwed up, especially the IPCC. Their attitude was to avoid scaring nations into doing nothing, so they prescribed a moderate solution. Problem is that they are now completely freaked out. The solutions that they are now proposing involves CO2 capture from the air and storage. It's the only way that their overly optimistic models get to anything like stability. On top of that they are emphasizing that fossil fuel use needs to fall off of a cliff, immediately. Waiting makes the problem that much more difficult to solve. Well, that isn't going to happen as the world is in a global fury to make and ship more oil, especially now for the West to punish Russia. Expect 70 years of massive oil trade. Oil is the number one traded commodity in the world at about $11 Trillion per year. That's equivalent to the real GDP of the US. That's going to go down to almost zero in a decade because a few climate scientists working for the UN say so? We are currently in condition red and this scenario puts us well into human extinction. Can humans survive? I think that it depends on how fast an adaptation project for a small subset of the current global population can progress. It's going to be a race between climate change destroying technological civilization and humans using technology to create a small survival population. Technological civilization really requires a very large, advanced industrial/population base. Try to imagine an integrated circuit development and production facility operating in the 19th century. Oops! Can small population groups survive in a hunter-gatherer society. That model was dependent on the climate/species providing ecological habitat favorable to that. With sudden and drastic change that might not be possible. At this point many researchers on the climate would end with something positive. That's so that you will love my work and go away feeling good. My research has brought me to the point that I think that we have critical shortcomings from scientific understanding of the earth and it's climate to having the political will to do something about it and everything in between. I think that the only hope is that we get to the stage of anger as fast as possible, within the next two years.It is outrageous beyond description in that we have gone over the cliff on Earth's climate and the topic of public discussion is how are we going to punish Vladimir Putin for personally poisoning an MI6 double agent ON UK SOIL!

Capitalism has always been the rule of the people by the oligarchs. You only have two choices, eliminate them or restrict their power.

So if one of the Bears didn't do the job, then we'd have to find another scapegoat to blame for our increasing use of petroleum. Can't let the good ole petrodollar skid now, can we?

You described it pretty well. That's the face of it.
Do what we can where we are and hope for luck. Lots of it.

All I could think was, "OK, we cannot afford to burn the oil we currently have drilled. Why on earth are we approving new sites?"
This was part of how I knew Obama was a climate sham.
