[quote=IPCC]"The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible."

Canuck re-states:-
Let me re-state that for emphasis......the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible. whistle Wow, that's a doozy eh?

Other variables, such as Cosmic ray intensity, and the Suns output have also been mentioned.

All making it certain that there there wont be any definitive answer in our lifetime, or in our childrens.

Prehaps the best we can hope for, is that 'man made' global warming will eventually slow as our Earth reaches a heat stability plateau?
Hopefully there must be a leveling off eventually?

But as Canuck suggests, unknown corrective measures, like shooting in the dark, would be irresponsible.

The developing Asian nations are far too busy playing financial catchup with the West to worry about climate responsibility at this stage in their development
