I'm not optimistic. As you noted, it's more than one facet of global equilibrium that is being upset by the manmade alteration of the atmosphere.

The way I see it, we have two solutions. Both are long term.

1)Decrease population. But that's not an option since no one wants to talk about it. I can't even get a forum here on population. Go figure. I mean, we have Dreadful Great and Fat Acceptance forums. Anyways, population is the big issue. It's going to change regardless of whether we talk about it or not, just because people like me are sick of the density of humans, and aren't breeding. Ok, enough.

2)Hybrids, alternative energy conversion. This addresses a fraction of the contributing factors of global warming. Heavy construction, transportation, manufacturing among other things, just don't lend themselves to lower energy density. I mean, try shipping truckloads of concrete with a Prius.


So.... Cue Cosby. How long can you tread water? I'm not optimistic. Beside, health is so boring. Humans love a crisis.
