Frankly, the world as we know it is going away, soon.

110. We CAN stop it, it's just a matter of how and when(no conceit here).

The one thing we know for sure is the longer we wait the harder this job will be. And frankly, I'm not optimistic about the entire world following up on this: the West may be able to do it(especially much of Europe!), and maybe Japan and Australia + N.Z. too.....unfortunately, though, India's a tough nut to crack and China will probably end up imploding before any major changes happen there. And a civil war in today's China might put serious strain on America's economy once again, and possibly worse than before!

And if China does implode, and it could be within 5-6 years possibly, there could be tens of millions of deaths and tens and tens of millions more refugees. On the other hand, it will remove perhaps the largest non-corporate obstacle to climate progress.....so, take what you will out of that.
