The danger is that the compromises and special interests inherent in Kyoto-style targets and cap-and-trade will be accepted because of bureaucratic momentum.

If we fail to act, we will end up with a different planet.

We're handing them [young people & future generations] a climate system which is potentially out of their control. We're in an emergency: you can see what's on the horizon over the next few decades with the effects it will have on ecosystems, sea level and species extinction

...the global surface albedo [surface whiteness] and greenhouse gas changes account for practically the entire global climate change.

It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.

The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.

The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
