China's time table is 2060, which is way too late. There definitely needs to be strong economic pressure applied to both countries, and others like Brazil who are destroying their forests. We also need sequestration methods, because we're already at higher levels than we can tolerate. We'll be at +1.5 C within 5 years.
They see the extremes, I would argue for what I call collectivism. It's a more social responsibility route where companies are answerable to society and the environment, not just their shareholders. Some companies (like Dan One) are already doing this. Companies like this sign a social responsibility contract and agree to abide by its terms in order to do business. It's a win/win/win for everyone.
How would this compare to August heat in our lifetimes? Excluding 1953 of course....I'm thinking of 1980, 1983, 1993, 1995, 2001, 2002.....those were the hotter ones.
And how would this compare to 1953?
The world will not be as we know it. It could be like it was millions of years ago, and that world would not be inhabitable by humans, at least on a technological scale.

This is downright scary. Talking about a 10 degree fahrenheit increase (because some of you climate denialist low IQ morons dont know how to do the conversion in your head, yes 5C is almost 10 F.)
it's called logic and is specifically mentioned in the IPCC report. The point is dumb selfish humans have been living unsustainably and that needs to change.
Yes and the fact is our brand of "capitalism" is unsustainable. It amazes me that some people are so dumb they still don't see it. They have money on the brain. All politicians who take any amount of money from these sordid cartels should be given one month to give it all back and if they don't they should unceremoniously be kicked out of office and all lobbyists for these corporations should either be imprisoned along with the heads of these cartels or be barred from ever being allowed to talk to any politicians, much less give them any money.
