re: #88 lostlakehiker

Til it refreezes? That could be 50 thousand years from now. We have crossed a tipping point, folks. Pray that we do not cross a more serious one, such as losing the Antarctic ice cap. See David Archer’s book, the Long Thaw.

As to new crops, etc. etc. we will now face a series of harsh challenges. This is going to be tougher to deal with than the Dust Bowl days. Our current technology is vastly superior to what we had then, so we ought to be able to cope, but we’ve shot ourselves in the foot and there will be some pain.

my whole point…can anyone say anything informative about reversing the effects of global warming, or what we do in the meantime…no, they can’t…slowing down the rate of CO2 discharge is good thing, but in terms of the oncoming changes, we are simply centuries behind the curve
