Abstract

Humankind has already passed the first climatic tipping point therefore engaging itself in a global experiment that has already reduced agricultural productivity. With the Artic ice melting 100 years ahead of IPCC prediction, the melting tundra is releasing greenhouse gases that cause temperature increases, leading to more melting tundra. Politicians have set ears, 2025 and 2050, to reduce greenhouse, but Mother Nature is not one to bargain. Once nature s laws are violated the penalties are usually sever and immediate including starvation, disease, and death.
