According to scientists, if we don't reduce our CO2 emissions by at least 25% within the next ten years, the effects of global warming will be irreversible. Personally, I think ten years is somewhat optimistic.
Can we possibly achieve this? Let's not forget, this is a 25% reduction on what we use now, and doesn't take into account the fact that in ten years' time the world's population will be a lot closer to the 7 billion mark.
Will we have to build a huge spaceship and spend generations in space looking for a new homeworld? And what will become of the Earth? Whether we die or not, does anyone think another species will ever be able to live here again in several thousand/million years' time?
Already the UK is facing an arctic snap of up to -12 celcius, a forerunner of possible the ice age that could hit us in as little as ten years' time (due to the re-routing of the oceanic conveyor belt due to Alaska melting).
What are your collective thoughts?
