Fair points in general on short-term solutions, but citation seriously needed on where you get 12 meters higher sea levels and 100 degrees C from.
In fact those two would essentially climax hilariously, because at 100 degrees the sea will be in the atmosphere, thousands of metres high.
- seszett 13y agoI got them in the same place the GP got their 50°C from, I presume - my ass. The point is: there is no predictable upper limit, period.
- Dylan16807 13y agoI wasn't trying to give a real number, I was saying that 'too hot, planetwide' is rather unrealistic. The initial ass-number was '6', why does your argument rely on numbers an order of magnitude larger?
- seszett 13y agoBecause there is no predictable upper limit, and any quick fix is at immediate risk of not being enough shortly later.
- Dylan16807 13y agoI think it's perfectly reasonable to postpone worrying about 50+ degrees until it's already shifted at least 5. If it turns out 5 is terrible, we'll have hundreds of years to implement plans to stop 50. If you think 5 degrees is catastrophic, then sure worry about that in 2013. But it won't make the planet uninhabitable.
