How long do you think it will take for our coastal lands to be flooded or our farming lands to become deserts? 10, 20 years? What do you think we'll be doing during that time? Just sitting around?
> Will anyone help the US, knowing we did nothing to avert catastrophe?
Just to be sure we're on the same page here, you predict we'll do nothing while all those cities start to flood, over the course of years to decades. Then, the rest of the world (who is as guilty as we are of your “sin” of ignoring the issue) will be required to save us from what sounds like damnation, and they will cast us down to suffer our self deserved fate (even though they depend on us as much or more than we do on them)?
Oh yes, sounds completely reasonable... /s
What really will happen, is if the climate models are correct, then it will become no question to anybody that there are big problems with the climate, and at that point we will have the motivation, and years to decades to solve it.
I don't claim to know what the solution will be, but I have the feeling that given all of earth's population working toward a solution can succeed. And this will happen once it can't be denied that it exists (if it will actually be a problem. Yes, models can be wrong)
