Warmist Bill Chameides: "Could be that we either lower our global warming emissions or the climate will force us to do it anyway — and that forcing may be unpleasant, to say the least"

Climate Change: The Human Factor Factored In — A blog on Environmental Happenings by Dean Bill Chameides

...Their conclusions are daunting. Using the value of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) to avoid dangerous anthropogenic interference, they estimate that “society will have to become ~ 50 times more responsive to global mean temperature change than it has been since 1990.” (The responsiveness from 1990 to the present was estimated on the basis of the global proliferation of renewable energy sources over that period.)...

We live in the natural world and in some respects are at the mercy of the weather and therefore the climate. And so the climate-human system can have some pretty serious “self-corrections” built into it. Could be that we either lower our global warming emissions or the climate will force us to do it anyway — and that forcing may be unpleasant, to say the least. When it comes to global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, it may turn out to be a pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later kind of thing.
