Did it actually say it will DOUBLE the CO2 concentration? Definitely past the point of no return. I guess us millennials WILL actually see the worst climate change outcomes WELL within our lifetimes...

In my home town back in Russia they now easily grow the stuff of my unreachable back then in USSR childhood dreams - apricots, cherries (the large sweet ones). The children there though don't do backcountry skiing like i did 40+ years ago because there is no snow these years there. And Russia pumps out fossil fuels without any care. They feel that things like opening of the Northern Passage and more agriculture on the previously hardly suitable lands are great for their future (they aren't climate change deniers, they are believers. Like everybody else there, I was taught about climate change as a clearly established scientific fact in the 6th grade in 1985).

So, until somebody brings out 10+ aircraft carriers and enforces global climate accord, i don't see any progress happening here.

I don't think Russia is unique here. I was talking about it because i know it. i can't talk this way about say China or Argentine (or basically any other country except may be US where 25+ years of residence give me some knowledge to talk about).

FWiW and with no judgement attached .. Russia will likely be benefited more by AGW climate change than many other countries.

Already people anticipate vast cattle ranches, cowboys and and rodeo clowns across Siberia.
