I suggest you put on your tin hat, my friend. You are going to be put under fire for this. It belongs in the back room .
When I was a coder, we worked on algorithms. Today, we memorize APIs for countless libraries — those libraries have the algorithms - Eric Allman

So we've come this far in the lounge? Very sad.

The one vote wasn't mine. But the topic is pretty much off limits in the lounge. You have been here more than long enough to know that.

No. There are too many people who become trolls on this subject so the easiest answer is to take it to the back room.

Won't work - you would then have to persuade them to use them. Even AIDS didn't manage to do that...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

When we all got conned into giving money to Ethiopia back in the 80's, we were told it would be for their benefit. We saw how a lot of it was stolen and misappropriated etc. The population of Ethiopia today is double that of the 1980's. Whose fault is it when they starve? Not mine.

Simple answer: no, it's too late. The CO2 in the atmosphere now has a residence time of ~150 years so even if we stop emitting completely today, some warming will continue. Politically, also, no, because countries like China and India are pushing on with coal power and oil-driven transport and that will outweigh any technical solution we come up with in the west. The time to do something about it was 10-15 years ago. At this point it is more about how to mitigate the negative consequences as best as possible.

The time to do something about it was 150 to 200 years ago. There are far greater issues threatening the human race (after all the planet will carry on without us if we cannot cope here anymore) than any man-made climate change that does exist. Too many people, not enough resources. Once the planet is unable to sustain people the people will find it harder to survive and will start to decline in numbers. That is nature in action, dealing with a problem. To divide everything into natural or man-made is incredibly arrogant of the human race.

Actually it is thin people doing all that exercise that is causing warming. :)

Hard words, but true. I have totally lost faith in charities given what I have learned about where the money ends up.

Yep, if we all switch to eating Kangaroo it'll fix the problem. Not sure how good Kangaroo milk is though.
