The effect of global warming is far more severe then most understand. If we reach 3 degrees and the permafrost in Siberia, and other places, will melt immense amounts of methan will be relased and heat up the world further more, heating up the oceans release their stored carbon, that in turn will damage the ozon etc etc. The important thing now is to act against these emissions and trying to keep the warming at the lowest point possible. Many many people try their best to invoke doubt among the "regular" people and this make it harder for politicans and scientists to act before it is too late. All you people here who understand the value of the earth, try not to spread the same lies and inform those around you that action is needed now. And, if you worry about carbon footprint from your cars, keep driving but stop eating meat. It is a faaar worse source for emissions then driving a car.</blockquote>
