Anthropogenic, Global Warming. (AGW) Is it too late?

Is it already to late.
“Last year, a record 30.6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide poured into the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuel – a rise of 1.6Gt on 2009, according to estimates from the IEA regarded as the gold standard for emissions data.”

While the politicians around the world "are fiddling", The chances of keeping Global warming within tolerable limits are decreasing year by year.

James Lovelock   may yet be proved right. The human race is unable to co-operate to prevent the collapse of the environments ability to support humanity.

Keeping warming within 2 degrees this century is unlikely, unless we stop almost all  fossil fuel use within the next 20 years.

The US Governments answer is to legislate, to say AGW does not exist, as if politicians opinions could "stop the tide".

Without the efforts of the worlds biggest per capita polluter, the chances of real efforts to reduce warming in the next 20 years are not good.

The IPCC predictions have, so far, been shown to understate AGW.
