<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">2. A new Australian report warns that due to feedback loops ignored in past projections we are headed for calamitous warming by midcentury unless we take vigorous action. The issue has arisen
before; see the link in the article to a critique of last October’s IPCC warning. James Hansen observed over a decade ago that projections are too conservative when they ignore positive feedbacks such as rapid methane release which can quickly ramp up heating.

to leave fossil fuels in the ground. We also are going to have to work at capturing and storing the carbon they have already released. Corporations are quite willing that we ignore their programs while we work on our own carbon footprints. “We need to let
go of the idea that it’s all of our individual faults, then take on the collective responsibility of holding the true culprits accountable.
