We will run out of fossil fuels before we turn our planet into Venus. Are you reassured? Think again. We'd expect our leaders to help us prepare for the changes ahead. They aren't so you need to. What will you do?
Venus, maybe not. What about a canfield state? A PETM style extinction event, or ELMO.
If we try real hard, we could prove Peter Ward right this century. Or we could we could wait 600 years until all the stuff that has been socked away in the oceans comes back to haunt us.
Yes, I did read your comment on Climate Progress about pay now or extinction later.
Even if we are doomed, I would still prefer to defer doom as long as possible.

ReplyDeleteI am hopeful. I need to be. I have young grandchilden. But we can't wait. We won't last 600 years. We may not last 100!
