Climate Change & Social Evolution

I rate catastrophic climate change leading to glaciation as having a 75% probability of occuring in the next fifteen years. During the same period, I rate the greenhouse warming effect as having a 25% probability of pushing the climate toward some new equilibrium point different from the twenty—two cycles we have had in the last two mill ion years. I cannot prove we are currently going into the next glacial period. However I would regret not taking action to prevent worldwide starvation where I feel that there is a 75% probability of it occuring."
