"It's worse than we thought." Sound familiar?

30. I certainly am.

I'll admit, I'm definitely not a 'doomer'. Okay? I tend to be more optimistic than some, primarily because of the fact that I tend to be pretty pragmatic.
And certainly, I can admit that I don't think the science is ENTIRELY settled at the moment; there's still things we probably could improve out knowledge on.

But I can honestly say this:

1.) Do I believe that ACC is real? Yes, because there has been loads of scientific research indicating this, over decades.
2.) Do I believe that humanity is the primary cause? Yes, because that's were the facts point.
3.) Can we mitigate climate change? Yes, because there is plenty of scientific research that tells us what can be done.
4.) Do I believe that humanity is doomed? No, primarily because our ancestors have survived at least one event that was sudden and more acute than AGW: The eruption of Toba, 72k years ago.
5.) Do I believe we need to act as soon as possible? Yes, definitely. Better a little late(now!) than never.

Again, I understand that some will disagree with me, for whatever reason.
