Present knowledge does not permit accurate specification of the dangerous level of human-made GHGs. However, it is much lower than has commonly been assumed. If we have not already passed the dangerous level, the energy infrastructure in place ensures that we will pass it within several decades.

We conclude that a feasible strategy for planetary rescue almost surely requires a means of extracting GHGs from the air. Development of CO2 capture at power plants, with below-ground CO2 sequestration, may be a critical element. Injection of the CO2 well beneath the ocean floor assures its stability (House et al. 2006). If the power plant fuel is derived from biomass, such as cellulosic fibres grown without excessive fertilization that produces N2O or other offsetting GHG emissions, it will provide continuing drawdown of atmospheric CO2.

There is the phrase "Our own worst enemy" I can't imagine anything or anyone but Humanity contributing to the situation we have today. Civilization as we know it is the current phase of the species. There is going to be change. The question is it to be for the better or worse. There is no doubt that the Planet being in such a condition suggests what we consider to be civilization needs fundamental reform. Think of Now. We can only deal with the situation with what we have available Now. What was or what might be are dangerous distractions. As the situation continues to deteriorate (Which it will if we keep the same course),
the resources at our disposal will be reduced, our options more limi...

Be it by warming (and/or the resulting drought) or cooling, it seems obvious that mankind is in line for a VERY big freaking wake-up call. I take comfort that we are all just dust in the wind from the day we are born. I know the faithful don't believe that, but all evidence points in that direction.
