We can only speculate how much more time humans have before their extinction.
Unlike other species we have the ability to analyse various things to make reliable future predictions.
We have analysed the reasons why our planet is getting hotter and worked out the consequences but we do little to change our behaviour such that at least we show we care.
Sure folk invest in alternate energy but the motivation is not anything less than that of profit.
We all want an easy way out of the crisis and I suggest there is no easy way to avoid the consequences waiting for us.
From my observation it seems there is an unfortunate majority of humans who believe that outside help will come from an unobserved entity and so they feel the problem
is somewhat already solved.
It would be reasonable to speculate that while such lack of thinking is somewhat a norm and no one wants to consume less or demand of government immediate statagies be implemented so curb the horrific gluttony of toys in the form of form of powerful motor cars, boats and planes well then humanity can not be saved.
Coal and fossil fuel is not the problen and not to see the real problem simply means we face extinction I suggest within less than two centuries..just wait and see if I am not right.
I have seen the future and sadly there isnt one.

I agree that doing nothing is terminal. Merely stopping further CO2 pollution from here on is not enough. But the story is far from over unless you give up now like Rom. My contribution in this discussion was only to point out that we do have the smarts to reverse the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere by decreasing the incident solar radiation one way or other. Just let the scientists and engineers get on the job. But that probably won't happen until your arse catches fire.
