Collide-a-scape : Bridging the Climate Divide
You're misreading me. Let me re-phrase: The world's best climate science does conclude that there is a 50% chance of exceeding 2 degrees C without major emissions reductions and that 2C+ is very likely...

Keith I agree there are powerful arguments for decarbonization irrespective of climate change - at least for some countries. Surprisingly it's still not happening. It is simplistic to blame this...

That is why it is really climate change (the original term), not global warming. Education on the issue would help ie weather and climate aren't the same thing. And increasing public awareness that the...

Just about every country has agreed that 2C is unacceptable even the US -- for many 1.5C is too risky. There are a host to of studies supporting this but essentially it is the risk of positive...

It makes a huge difference if those ten years are globally warmer (which they have been) or just in your city. The former is climate the latter is weather. I agree the results of taking action will be...

De-carbonization is absolutely essential, and I hope you are right but I am not seeing many signs of it. Mostly we've been 'decarbonizing' by buying stuff from other countries like this laptop I'm...

2C does not translate into better food production, just the opposite as many studies show. I don't see how there are many benefits with a climate subject to more extremes. The warming is not evenly...
