How long
will it take?
What is the "natural" rate of warming for Earth? And how much are we speeding it up by?
What temperature is Earth
supposed to be?
How high or low is sea level supposed to be and what is the proper volume of ice at the poles?
How much CO2 is too much?
If warming is bad does that mean cooling is good?
