I presume you have read the post by Gelbspan, which says about what you are saying.  Don't you think that pushing this extremely depressing point of view makes people want to give up?  I would prefer to go with the IPCC recommendations - which we will probably not reach anyway - rather than argue about how hopeless it is.

Here's the link to the Gelbspan, if anyone has missed it.

Hi all,

I just discovered a really good audio interview with coral reef 
scientist Thomas Goreau on reefs and global warming, in which he also 
details why the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) reports on 
the predicted severity of human caused global warming are far too 
optimistic and that the problem will be much worse, more quickly, than 
the IPCC predicts.

The entire two hour interview is important and I recommend listening to 
the entire program; however if you just want to hear the section 
critiquing the IPCC go to the 32 minute mark of the first hour of the 
program.

The first hour is at:

The second hour is at:
