I’m jotting my own thoughts on the misery we live in at the moment. I’ll post later when I’m happy with it.

Well no one ever thinks that action only is warranted IF it is occuring IF AGW costs more than merely adapting and IF those costs aren't outclassed by the benifits. Then we should do something about it seriously rather that just progress towards NON fossil fuel energy generation.

Imagine if it were the other way and we had global cooling( which we are likely to have for the next 30 years) look what happens to countries under consistant snowy conditions. By comparison to a 59-90 cm sea level rise over the next 90 years , which is another thing peple struggle to get is that 90 years is a long time for people to think "ooh that sea is getting a bit closer isn't it?"

time lags.................. the killer of all the costs of AGW.

I agree if the costs are reasonable then we should start making the changes. While the forecast points at little changes within 20 years the longer forecast could be a lot worse if we do nothing about it now.
