Ok, so this question has been asked before, but here goes! What are we going to do about it? I hear people say it's just too late to stop a catastrophe, but I find it hard to believe. It is probably not too late to stop a "catastrophe," but it is too late to stop climate change. It is my understanding that even if we were to stop putting more CO2 into the atmosphere immediately, temperatures would continue to rise for a few decades due to the CO2 that is already there. The only way to fight that would be massive investments in carbon capture and storage. Realistically, we are going to experience significant climate change over the next 50 years. That doesn't mean nothing can be done, of course. By reducing or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, we can slow the rate of change. By investing in carbon capture technology, we can slow and perhaps one day reverse the change. We also need to look into ways of mitigating the effects of the change that is coming.
