If there is, science can't accurately predict it yet. We have to put together more pieces of the climate puzzle first.
It doesn't stop, unfortunately, some politicians and other talking heads from making claims that end up scaring people. I wish they'd devote their time and energy into passing and enforcing laws & encouraging technological advance rather than scaring the population for votes.

it depends on your definition of catastrophe
in New Orleans USA, they had a climate catastrophe last year
the world climate is changing (has always been changing) and will certainly cause some catastrophic situations here and there as the years go by
but the earth as a whole will not experience catastrophe
some places will have climates much better for humans fifty years from now and some places will have climates worse for humans
the same will be true in 200 years (unless we get something like a big asteroid strike that might make nearly all regions of the earth less useable by humans at least for awhile)

Best guess has the climate raising 2 degrees centagrade over the next 100 years.
Unless, of course, we get a good volcano, at which time it will fall 2 degrees.
Then again, we were supposed to have rain here today, and it was beautiful, with zero clouds in the sky.

End of the world is around December 21st, 2012, according to the Myan calendar. Supposedly we run out of suns. So we burn up as the current sun explodes.
I can't think of it getting worse than that!

Well, It's September now. And in Maine snow normally starts around Thanksgiving. So I think Feb. It's one of the coldest months of the year for us.

Friday most likely, but the way we are burning all this carbon it could be as soon as Tuesday.

My intuition tells me its coming
every day
reason tells me it must be soon.
My heart wishes it would never come
and that it should hurry up
asap.

We must face it each and every day, so why worry about things you can not change.
