Hmm, i get the rest, but what exactly is the explanation for the fire from the sky? (6 degrees) Global firestorm? Or runaway Venus effect?

If there is one episode in the Earth’s history that we should try above all not to repeat, it is surely the catastrophe that befell the planet at the end of the Permian period, 251 million years ago. By the end of this calamity, up to 95% of species were extinct. The end-Permian wipeout is the nearest this planet has ever come to becoming just another lifeless rock drifting through space. The precise cause remains unclear, but what is undeniable is that the end-Permian mass extinction was associated with a super-greenhouse event. Oxygen isotopes in rocks dating from the time suggest that temperatures rose by six degrees.One scientific paper investigating “kill mechanisms” during the end-Permian suggests that methane hydrate explosions “could destroy terrestrial life almost entirely”. Acting much like today’s fuel-air explosives (or “vacuum bombs”), major oceanic methane eruptions could release energy equivalent to 10,000 times the world’s stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Yes, and now to forward the proposition towards the MNC's. After all, aren't they playing a major role in the whole super-greenhouse effect?

My opinion:

Six degree = End of Days/Armageddon/ Judgment Day

Base on my beliefs, it is unavoidable. It can be delay, but it is inevitable.

CO2 emission increasing everyday. I remember of reading an article in Reader's Digest about an Indian guy trying to reduce CO2 emission by changing the normal light bulb to CFLs. It seem that this CFLs not only reduce CO2 emission, but it also cut the energy use to light the bulbs. It would be great if we can urge our community to change their bulb in order to reduce the CO2 emission and at the same time, saving energy.

ppl always said that carpooling is one of the way. if it is just one person doin it, i dont think it will work efficiently. what we can do is try to educate and tell people of how dangerous it is global warming. Even now if you open MSN, u can see images of the snowiest whiteout to have ever hit the eastern USA. ppl only see a lot of snow, but they dont think of why its happen.

Carpooling, you mean sharing our cars?

No offense, but I don't think it's practical, at least it's not for me.

But thanks for the suggestion though, will try it if I've got the chance.

no doubt that we cant stop it. This is not like 2012, do you mind to share your thoughts on how to delay it?

The video is extremely alarmist, and talks about very long term (beyond 1 century) effects of global warming. I find that very unhelpful, since it is these alarmist predictions that cause a lot of sceptics to fume about overblowing the issue one way, and then they go and overblow the issue the other way instead.
