Is it 'too late' to stop global warming...

Now here's a real debate...is it, in fact, too late to change CO2-induced global warming??? Here's a couple of scientists who say it is...

Now, science advisors to two governments with claims to leadership in global climate politics, Germany and the UK, have told BBC News it is unlikely that levels of greenhouse gases can be kept low enough to avoid a projected temperature rise of 2C (3.6F).

Professors Sir David King and John Schellnhuber say the world is more than 50% likely to experience dangerous levels of climate change.

They believe politicians have been too slow to cut emissions.

Current science suggests that above 2C, billions of people will face water shortages, the world's food supplies could be threatened and widespread extinction could be triggered.

Neither scientist believes that the world would achieve the goal of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of stabilising emissions by around 2015.

I don't put any stock in their dire warnings. But, scientists who do believe that human-based CO2 causes global warming, have a duty to tell us if it is indeed too late to change things. We would then have no other recourse then to use our money for adaptation to global warming.
