Having earned a Master of Science in this very field in 1982, I have watched as ignorance and greed have made things worse faster then originally feared. I think we now have no chance of avoiding disaster. We cannot stop the outgassing of the permafrost, and the eventual outgassing of the methane hydrates on the seafloors. There are already methane seeps in Antarctica, methane blowouts in Siberia along with the endless Siberian forest fires.

Hubris has killed us. We just wait now for the end.
