Yvan.. "The secret hope of many people like me who work in energy is that we will exhaust the fossils fuel before it is too late. Otherwise, I don't we could manage this issue." If I've understood it right the energy companies already have in their inventories several times over the amount of hydrocarbons we safely can burn and still remain under the 2C threshold...

I am a bit worried about the energy invested (wasted?)in debating with the denialist crowd - even if it may feel good at times. They have all facts at their disposal but have decided (for various reasons)to interpret them in a way that is not logical. I doubt they will change their views. Impacting the general public electing the people with power should be top priority instead, not the hard core denialists.. IMHO..
