Abstract
This has been a long list of unpleasant topics. Summarizing them might lead to depression. Predictions are much too vague to make a timeline but the implications of Fig. 32.25 are well worth contemplating. It’s time to open a good bottle of wine.
One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
