These pages will examine this question: Where is the tipping point for unacceptable--or catastrophic--climate change? How close is it, or have we passed it? Are we now endangering human civilization, or the human species? If so, all our priorities need re-thinking. On these pages I will consider all my sources in assessing the current state of the climate challenge, and am investigating responses.

Here is Aiguo Dai's (National Center for Atomospheric Research) 2010 drought research updated in 2012, showing drought projections through the end of the century. It is the near-term maps up to mid-century that are dreadfully worrisome, given the amount of time one can assume it would take to transition an entire global economy from it's fossil-fuel foundation to a renewable economy. James Hanson expresses concern that large-scale multi-country multi-year droughts would create many millions of climate refuges and could make the globe "ungovernable."
