Nasa scientist warns the world must urgently make huge CO2 reductions
Also on the Inq: Reduce carbon emissions or else, Nasa scientist warns.
Not that I'm claiming to have any unique or profound insights, here, but I'm glad to see some respectable commentators making their voices heard that the current half-arsed token efforts are nowhere near enough.
My own take: it's far too late to stop the process now, without effectively turning off our global technological civilisation. I reckon we should be building nukes (in fairly high-altitude locations) as fast as possible, covering deserts in solar power plants, and trying to identify every endorheic basic, dried-out seabed or other inland depression that we can fill with seawater - pumped up to it if necessary - as fast as possible to try to slow the inevitable sea-level rises.
