Yeah we are probably screwed. With engineering it is usually best to go for conservative worst case scenarios when doing calculations, that way the outcome is going to be assured. Most people are doing the opposite and being unreasonably optimistic and magically hoping that everything will be OK if we carry on as we are. Sort of wishing the problem away. It is unlikely to work. Things are already getting worse.

I am up high now, but will probably be well gone by disaster day. I worry about the grandkids in Oz though. I think Oz will suffer badly.

As the centre dries out population moves to the coast and the sea level rises while the bush burns.
I'm glad I live here...

The thing that gets me about Oz, is while they rip the guts out of the land to create their wealth they still try to farm that country, and every year we see the pics of starving animals put up to garner sympathy not for the abused beasts, but for those who continue to insist it is their right to be compensated for their stupidity.
Slow learners in charge? Or just more human greed...

Its all rather scary, especially for those of us with descendants likely to have to live with it. We really need to be putting more effort into finding the best ways to deal with it.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
