So you wanna go back in time and stop the Industrial Revolution to stop this from happening?
Because that's about the only way to have stopped this...and that last sentence in the article misses this point. Pretty much all the human-caused greenhouse gas emissions over time have and will impacted global warming
already and future emissions (and let's not neglect the contributions of the Chinese and Indians (and the rest of the "developing world" for that matter) to this like the Kyoto Accord does
), if cut, will take a very long time to effect change, certainly longer than necessary to stave off the picture the article indicates. Get used to this, if it isn't exaggerated...
