Why it's too late on climate change
Here's a detailed summary of the (in)action to date on climate change. It is abundantly clear to me that, given the half-life of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, no amount of conservation now will mitigate catastrophic warming in the decades our children and grandchildren will see.

The catastrophe that this inaction will visit on the planet will be coastal flooding, desertification, and loss of fresh water and arable land. But the real near-term threat to humanity is not loss of habitat per se, it is resource wars. People who are denied living space, water and food due to global warming won't just sit and die. They will fight for the resources that remain. None of us wants to live in such a world, but nothing will be done until it is too late. I tremble for the future of humanity.
