A clear case you have made here which cries out on the wilderness for answers. But why does the nation’s flagship radio station not present discussion on this historic publication? Time is of the essence now. The next five years political and economic action will determine the shape of the climate tsunami – its height and its amplitude. “Deep time” projections suggest that, with a “rollover” of the GHG emissions curve in the next five years, the average global warming might be limited to 2° and the course extend one hundred thousand years hence. But with the BAU/business as usual scenario until 2020, powering down to emission neutrality by 2050 would require a political tsunami of impossible proportions. And failing that, the “climate bomb” we of the next five years are detonating would inflate the climate tsunami towards the 10° of the PETM/Permian-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The amplitude would be inflated by “an order of magnitude”. That’s a million years folks. Never before has public ethics been dominated by such a concern. Even as a geologist it is hard to get my head around, let alone my actions.

The current government must be the most irresponsible we have ever had.
