If the current levels of CO2 are 387 ppm, reducing to 350 ppm or lower is going to take some doing. Attention has been taken away from climate action by the world economic crisis; look at Rudd's delay on serious action. As soon as things pick up, we will be puffing away again to build up our economies and maintain full employment.
The question is ... what is the point of no return?
Let's hope we haven't passed it, Rob.
