We humans will not stop the carbon direction we're on. It is a runaway train already. We're adding 1 billion people to this planet every 12 years. Even if each of us reduces, overall we still increase our carbon output.

Therefore, as I see it, the best way to reverse the trend is to reduce human population. That would have a direct impact that no other solution does. And that isn't going to happen.

Our fate is set. The cards will fall as they will and all 10 - 12 billion of us will just ride it out some time in the not too distant future. It's not going to be pretty. Glad I won't be here to witness it.

The underthetop response from Mass Media is revolting and truly scary. Hats of to Thom Hartman for focusing on this really top priority issue...after all, who cares about the Debt Ceiling if the sea is heating and our world is morphing into a deadly mess?
