Reply #16: Yes, this puts into perspective very nicely just how big the challenge is...

undoubtedly the biggest challenge the human species has ever had...to save our own hides as well as save as much of our natural environment as possible.

No mistake about it, effectively dealing with human induced climate change will take unprecedented cooperation among all countries, governments and societies...and this enormous endeavor must take place within the next decade. The U.S. must be the standard bearer in this effort, not only because we are and have been for decades the greatest single contributor to the problem, but have the resources and influence (albeit arguably after Bushco). Such an effort will take determined and courageous leadership that will have the ability to unite people behind such a massive undertaking that will in many ways drastically alter how we live our lives, our economy and our society in general.

Who might that leader be?
