Yup!

2.6C is hugely optimistic. Almost half of all climate scientists polled think we will see at least a 3C rise by 2100, and 4C+ is easily still possible. 2C may even be breached as soon as the 2030s according to some estimates

I am not sure that it's possible to be too alarmed by what is happening to our climate and our world

Don't tar us all with the same brush!

With all due respect, I really don't think you can blame climate scientists for our predicament

I, and may others in the fiels, expect 2C by 2050

3C or not that far off may not be long after mid-century

2.6C by 2100 is hugely optimist, when the temperature is already rising by nearly 0.3C a decade

People have been seduced into this lifestyle by rampant consumerist capitalism. They know no better, but they will.....

Not small enough, when we need at least a 50 percent cut in the next 50 months

It's what the polls and the popularity figures show

At a $1 trillion a year, it's never going to happen

Furthermore, removing CO2 can only make a significant difference once emissions have been massively reduced

To do so while continuing to add CO2 to the atmosphere is utter madness

And no-one needs to 'hamper' anything, because it isn't going to happen
