Just saw this today

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28212-climate-change-2014-what-do-we-do-now

Haven't read through  in enough detail for note taking/incite yet, but it's about 18 pages of big print and has some new perspectives that may warrant consideration in directing near term policy.

That's assuming that policy is going to create the path. Nonetheless, it seems clear that any strategy based on knowledge current even 2-3 years ago is out of date and may, in some instances, do more harm than good in the all important SHORT TERM.

Looking at long range timing ignores the fact that we need to get to those far off dates with an environment of habitable quality. Short term factors are important--and actually need more urgent policy attention and action. Without that, tipping points may trigger with irreversible results.

More on this piece in a few day--do find time to read through!
