[MD] Global dimming (and all it's supported data) part 3

[Ron Kulp]

JAMES HANSEN: I think we have less than a decade to avoid passing what I
call "point of no return." I think we have to keep global warming less
than one degree Celsius, or we're going to get very bad effects. And the
problem is that to achieve...to keep the warming less than one degree
Celsius, we have to level off the emissions and get them to decline
before the middle of the century, substantially.

Right now, the course that we're on-plus 2 percent per year in
greenhouse gas emissions-well, if you continue that, even for 15 years,
it's a 35 percent increase. And then there's no way that you could
possibly meet this alternative scenario with warming less than one
degree Celsius.

PETER COX: One of the real driving forces is that you leave an
environment that is comfortable for your children. And if we carry on
going the way we're going, we're not going to do that. We're going to
leave an environment that's much worse than the environment we lived in,
and it will be down to what we did when we were using that environment,
and that would be, tragic, really, if that happened.

What would you ask an oil company? What is being done to make us less
reliant on oil? That's a question. If we're going to keep our dependency
on oil, primarily, for the coming years, the initial future years,
where's it coming from?
