TIPPING POINT! Do you not know what the phrase "tipping point" means? It means it is the point where there is no way we can prevent things from spiraling out of control. It doesn't mean they are already there though...
So do you have a solution for this 'problem' that doesn't involve me handing over my money or is that the only solution. I am going to guess you think it is something we should 'all chip in for'. You rarely have a position that doesn't cost other people their money or their rights.

You do realize that we have most likely passed the tipping point that Al Gore was talking about within that 10 years? I mean you DO know what that quote was about right? Here's the ACTUAL quote by the way:
Many scientists are now warning that we are moving closer to several "tipping points" that could — within as little as 10 years — make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable damage to the planet's habitability for human civilization. (Source)
Global warming: passing the 'tipping point'
It gives considerable force to the contention by the green guru Professor James Lovelock, put forward last month in The Independent, that climate change is now past the point of no return.

Since that is your point and position, why continue to berate others? What's the point? It's all over but the crying now. Nothing we can do, we have reached "THE TIPPING POINT!" the "POINT OF NO RETURN!!!!"
At this point the only sane thing to do is join with us, the few who hold out hope that most of this is just the Earth Cycle doing what it has done for billions of years. Hoping that we haven't come to the point where 200 years of us destroys an entire planet. (if that really is the case, we as a species are doomed and rightfully so)
But I suppose there is that special satisfaction you get when you say I told you so. It's so mature.
Can someone explain to me how CO2 is soooo bad if it is required for plant growth....More CO2 = Greener, more lush vegetation.

Why don't you start a company or charity instead of trying to get the government involved?
