I wish it was. So does Manuel GarcĂa, Jr, http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/01/15/inside-the-latest-climate-report/
He reports on yet another up to date government panel climate report, telling us everything we already new, this time for the US government, the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee.
Surprise, surprise, there are 2 recommended strategies, both of which amount to the same thing.
“Mitigation,” minimizing the amount of global warming in the future by minimizing the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases now; and
“Adaptation,” devising alterations (or alternatives) to the many systems we depend upon, so they continue to sustain us in a future with a different climate from that of previous centuries during which our prior economies and modes of living were developed.
This means abandoning fossil fuel burning, and everything else that contributes to atmosphere greenhouse gases. That cuts out a large range of business as usual options.
I say its over when we are turning off more coal and gas power stations than we are building new ones.
