ReplyDeleteOn our current course, according to the science I've read (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/11/e1501923.full), we'll see +6C warming (±1.2C) by the end of the century. That means that humans will probably not make it to 2100 either. In other words, we may have just voted ourselves off the planet.
