[lbo-talk] Global warming 'past the point of no return'

[Gar Lipow]

You want to be careful on this. It ha been known for some time that a
feedback mechanism has set in and a great deal of  global warming has
been locked in. But such cycles are not infinite. It is not
neccesarily too late to stop global warming while we still have a
fairly decent agricultural capability - if we start soon.  The warmer
the air temperature the more vapor capability, the more water in the
air, the less in liquid form available for human use.
