>> you just say that if Hansen is right, than reductions are useless. That's right Everywhere it seems that warming causes more warming. Lots of positive feedback factors. The latest is methyl hydride bubbling from the Arctic. Warm ocean currents are causing a phase change and sequestered methane is entering the atmosphere. More methane in the atmosphere suggest more warming and so on. Hansen's quote that we are at or past the tipping point in 2008 tells me now that a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions would be a pointless effort. And we all know even a 10% reduction is unachieveable.
