The Kevin Anderson speech is fast-moving, with a shocking look at how politicians never even hear the latest science. At our current pace of emissions, we are unlikely to stay even under 4 degrees C global average temperature rise.
Our climate is going out of control, becoming unstable, says Anderson.
We get agreement, but a slightly hopeful solution, from Dr. William Calvin. He's authored a dozen books, including on human evolution and climate change. See his lecture to NASA on You tube, and his talk at the University of Victoria. Sobering and very informative.
