Carrol,
Yours is an astonishing statement. If "the predicted global warming is
a given ... " then run-away climate change is a given.
J. E. Lovelock, a distinguished UK scientist has predicted that humanity will
be reduced to a few breeding pairs. If he's right, and not being
unduly optimistic, it is time to step up the struggle.
Not sure what you, personally, would put in the box for immediate ends.
Carbon tax? Regulations? But the best thing to include for immediate ends
AND the destruction of capitalism at the same time is reducing working time.
