Newsweek - Climate change report puts world on 'fast track' to disaster: U.N.

[toguy5252]

Are there positions climate scientists holding to that require
compromise? I am asking this question in earnest. I have this
presumption of what climate activists meant to tell us that is
world's climate will reach the point of no return if emission is
not capped in a few years according to climate scientists.

If as you said positions of political leaders require compromise
then at least have the decency and integrity of being honest about
the emission target they promised. Say something along the line of
'yes man-made climate change is real but we will be very lucky if
emission by 2030 can be reduced by half.....don't worry we won't be
all dead................it is just a matter of time before emission reduced
to zero....no later than the end of 2200, I guarantee...'

I totally agree that arbitrary targets are rarely met. But setting targets can help to motivate people to change habits. Chanage is coming. the timing is uncertain. that does nothing to change the urgency of the problem and the importance of dealing with it on a timely basis.

There are enough people who are living through very obvious effects that change will happen.
Just talk to anyone from BC over what happened last year, any prairie farmer, anyone from the North or pretty much anywhere.
