How are we doing? Prince Charles said a couple of years ago that we only had 6-7-8 years before we reached a point of ‘no turning back’

How are we doing?

If the earth warms up enough, will it really stop the ocean’s temperature “conveyor belt” currents …and if so, will that really trigger a new ice age? If *that* is true…how long would that take?

Do you believe we have reached, or have gone beyond the “tipping point”?

Can we will realy able to minimize the Global climate change?if it is not possible than what should be the future environment?is there will be any alternatives to sustain life?

Will there ever be a big earthquake in california where californiaq will be submerged. if so when?

Since when children should learn about climate situations? I mean about the educational system.
And I’d love to have this one answered, though I think it’s hard to answer: How bad the natural disasters need to be to make some nations think about it?

What can one person do to slow global warming?

Given that estimates of the rate of change appear to have been overly conservative so far; Has anyone published updated analysis modeling the odds of various accelerated events like release of massive methane from hydrates or faster than expected ice flows? Preferrably with estimated ranges.

How with the major agricultural areas of world going to change in the 25 years?

How much global greenhouse gas emissions can we release each year and still stay in the 2 degrees target? And how much can we release per person (I assume that all people have the right to releasefest the same amount)? I Would like some numbers to relate my emissions against so I know if I need to lower my emissions and bu how much. Its getting easier each day to understand the amount of green house one person is responsible for (via apps or websites for example) but its harder to understand how much each person “is allowed” to release.

National Geographic’s October 2011 issue has and article about the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) that was very sobering. Is it possible that anthropogenic global warming will become as severe as this event? I am concerned that the deep ocean methane ices will be released, making a bad event much worse.

Should I plant an olive orchard in upstate SC, or an agave plantation? Will it become like Greece or Baja?

Why do you think the actual climate change expressions have outpaced your previously modeled predictions? And isn’t this something that should be modeled more pessimistically considering the consequences?

Which groups of people must migrate to survive? Where should they go? How?

Will “we” be able to stop the effects of global warming or is it really to late? If it’s not to late, what is the real bottom line in what needs to be done? The US is not really serious about working to end global warming and something has to be done. I do hope that that something is the past of the point of no return…..

What aspects of our civilization will we have to lose in order to reduce the effects of climate change?

When will climate scientist wake up and see the equation of climate change is not a static cause and effect relationship rather it is an ever changing dynamic equation based on human and natural occuring events. That being said; Wouldn’t you feel that as a scientist admitting the answer is rather complex and dynamic might bring more disbeleaving folks on board the climate shift ship? Shouldn’t we Please stop calling these dynamic climate events Global Warming because it is both hot and cold events that are and have made localized climate shifts disturbance patterns viewed obscure to some not currently being affected by that kind of an event. Could it actually be the earth as a whole is entering a dynamic pattern of both warming and cooling at the vary same time each being equally unbalanced to sustain human life should the events worsen?

what are the techniques that one has to use to enhance mitigation of climate change and how should one adapt to the situation of climate change?

How do we educate others on the severity of climate change before another catastrophic event occurs closer to home, which may be too late?

How will the effect of global warming effect the survival of fish and other sea life like whales and seals?

Geologic history always shows evidence of dramatic warm-ups (and never dramatic cool-downs). Why isn’t a runaway feedback loop considered the scientific norm?

Millions of species are in danger of extinction. Is there a plan to create refuges, aquariums, or liquid nitrogen baths of fertilized eggs for 10 generations from now when the species may be reintroduced?

I for one am sitting out here, year after year, slowly developing all sorts of answers: cost-crushing alternative energy answers, environmentally friendly geoengineering answers and viable massive sequestration plans. Why isn’t anyone on the other end of the telephone line answering? Why, why, why? Do I walk through a world of mice, who live only to eat cheese for themselves, who only hope that some other mouse will die in the mousetrap so that they can go second and win the little cheese game? Is that all that “climate change” means to actual product developers?

What would a proactive scientific idea development community look like?

could you show me the data from science experiments that shows climate change is happening due to human activity?

I will ask, have you talked with people from the real world, and have you learnt that no very many care about garbage thrown into the street, and all its sub-products, garbage being burnt because that is the thing to do, that oil factories detritus is just being disposse in the swams around rivers?, so who is to know? Who is to do anything? And this is only what I see in the Mexican environment? And I will say, I took a course in solar energy, I am a physicist, I have a master´s degree, do you know who may help me find a job in solar energy, and in information to find a way to reach real people, the layman people?, so that they understand the world is warming?

I would ask the following questions:
1. How can scientist break down the complex scientific information into simple easy to understand language?
2. Science being filled with uncertainties, how can scientist convince the climate change deniers (CCD) that it is indeed happening?
3. What are scientists doing to silence CCD?
4. How can scientists collaborate more with the media to disseminate information? After all the TV media is one of the most influential medium — so why aren’t we seeing more climate change stories?

What aspects of human civilization are we willing to sacrifice because we are unwilling to recognize a link between human civilization and global climate change?
