John, agreed.
I'm slightly saddened by the realisation that I, and most of us, will not be here to see how this plays out.


Yes the legacy we are leaving our future generations is too awful to contemplate what the reality may well mean. Whilst we 'chew on and criticise' the changes to our lifestyle and the inconvenience it may cause us, trying to keep within 2C rise by end of the century when its already predicted to rise 3 to 5C by then, kind of pales into trivia and insignificance in the grand scheme of things. In fairness we inherited a problem, but we sure haven't done anywhere near enough to solve it. One thing is for sure even within our remaining lifetime afforded to us we are going to experience significant and material adverse change.
