This is why I tend not to get involved in global warming discussions, the utter lack of understanding of what is going to happen makes me give up hope of even trying to discuss this.
Firstly we are talking a few degrees over all the earth, this won't make Calgary California.. It will however change weather patterns, bring us a lot more extreme weather, and a host of unknowns we will just have to find out.
I don't want to waste my time talking to people who think this is all a natural cycle and that we are having no effect pumping all this greenhouse warming gas into the atmosphere.
I do however want to talk to people who are trying to do one of two things:
1. Find ways to build new industries around green energy, green technologies. These are genuinely exciting areas filled with innovation, scientific breakthroughs and will be a source of incredible wealth and prosperity for those who lead the charge.
2. Those who seek through technology and innovation to lessen and slow the impact, or even start to manipulate the environment with new ideas and technology. There was a great documentary on this on PBS not too long ago, geo engineering is a term that will gain a lot of interest in the next 50-100 yrs.
