From "Conclusion on Global Warming":

One of the big questions of today is whether global warming  and climate change can be stopped or whether it is inevitable.  Though worried, most scientists believe that if we act now,  “serious” climate change and global warming can be avoided.  A few, such as James Lovelock who created the GAIA theory  of the Earth as a living  organism, believes that is far too late to stop the changes that

are now unfolding.  Politicians either deny that there is a problem or act as if there  is plenty of time to do something. After weighing the arguments  we in The GAIA-Movement have had to conclude the following:

• Global Warming and Climate Change are  unavoidable as they are already going on and have  been so for quite some time;

• they constitute an inevitable catastrophe that will  unfold in the years and decades to come;

• this fact cannot be reversed as the politicians in  power will not provide the leadership needed to  implement the monumental changes needed to  reduce greenhouse gas emission and

• the processes set in motion are of such magnitude  that they by now can only be postponed or prolonged  so as to allow more time for adaptation.

We have reached our conclusions on global warming, climate  change and the consequences thereof for food production and  a number of other issues after studying books, films, websites,  radio interviews, scientific magazines and reports.

The information we have found points in a clear direction and  has thus enabled us to make a clear conclusion.

A basic book has been “Six Degrees” by Mark Lynas, a  journalist who has studied many scientific reports and from that  has been able to describe what may happen to the Earth as it  warms 1-2-3-4-5 and even 6 degrees.

Elizabeth Kolbert has written “Field Notes from a Catastrophe”.  She has met many scientists working on global warming and  the book has much dramatic information.

Several other authors have written books that give many  details on global  warming and climate change such as “ The Last Generation ” by  Fred Pierce, “ The Weather Makers ” by Tim Flannery, “ A  Rough Guide to Climate Change ” by Robert Henson, “ The  Revenge of GAIA ” by James Lovelock and “ An Inconvenient  Truth ” by Al Gore, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his  effort to inform about climate change. The last book is also on  film and there are several other films that tell about different  aspects of climate change and what can be done to build a  world on renewable energy.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN  working group, which also received the Nobel Peace Prize  made their latest report in 2007. We have studied the report  which presents several models for how the climate may  change during the next 100 years.
