The final IPPC report is much better than the previous unfinished version.

Untill now Global Warming would affect all of us more or less homogeneously. We were entirely threatened as a species. This was too apolitical. So now the poor will be affected worst. The Rich countries may even enjoy agricultural benefits. Africa, however, is doomed. Global Warming is borrowing some characteristics of class struggle. Perhaps that will help with mobilization.

Is there another debate where Good and Evil are so clearly opposed? You are either saving the planet or preventing it from being saved.

The worst, or the best, is that so far the solutions haven't been presented to us. It's useless to ask for them. The best you can get is a Kitsch place-holder. As with any eschatology, you must first be convinced of the end of times. Untill you are seriously convinced of this, no solution will be presented to you. As you sit and wait you have a good opportunity to look around your sides for who's to blame.

And the story ends here for today. What will happen next? Tune in tomorrow at this same bat channel, same bat-time.

Will anything good come out of Global Warming (the mobilization, not the one degree increase in temperature)? Like getting us to drop Oil, use hydrogen power, boost fusion research, etc.? Possibly. We've reached the 6 billion mark by resolving the problems we proposed to ourselves. The potential is there.
