However, I am tired of seeing all of these reports published without much action. The action I have seen doesn't seem to be progressing quickly enough. We can't wait until 2050 to reduce our dependence on oil. I’m glad the military is finally recognizing the need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

The collective wisdom is summed up nicely by Gwynne Dyer in his book, "Climate Wars." Dyer's synopsis of the conclusions of these figures and the war fighters is that it won't be climate change that gets us but rather the wars it will trigger long before we in the West experience the climate effects of AGW. Because Western states will, in the main, be the "least and last" affected, they'll have the greatest reluctance to act quickly enough. Asia and Africa, the Middle East and South/Central America however, will be hit much earlier and far more severely causing the outbreak of military conflicts involving such nations as Russia, China, India and Pakistan, all of which could be goaded into resorting to their nuclear arsenals. Meanwhile our Western leaders still toy with the idea of 80% GHG reductions by 2050 which isn't going to do anything but, perhaps, slow the onset of the worst.
