GOOD ON GREEN-PEACE,ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO GREEN-PEACE HAD A VERY BIG VOICE,IN THE ROLL OF CHANGE,TODAY MORE PEOPLE SEEMED TO BE FIXED OR FOCUSED ON THEIR JOBS AND MONEY OR LACK OF IT,THIS NONE INVOLEMENT ATTITUDE,LET SOME ONE ELSE DO THE WORK HAS TO STOP, SOON I HOPE PEOPLE WILL WAKE-UP,AND STOP PUTTING MONEY FIRST AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR PLANET WHAT B.P AND SHELL AND OTHER OIL COMPANYS,SURRORTED BY GOVERMENT AND COMPANYS,SHOULD HAVE TO PAY-OUT FOR THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE INFLICTED ON JUST ON OUR WORLD BUT ON THE WAR THEY HAVE WAGED ON ITS PEOPLE

can't help with 2, but:1. Average global metperature. The acidity of the oceans. The number and/or intensity of tropical storms. The number/frequency of record high metperatures. The depth of the ocean. Probably other things I'm not thinking of right now.3. Because there's already a lot of warming "in the pipeline". For example, the oceans will eventually release some or all of the excess CO2 they have absorbed, which will lead to more warming. Unless we not only stop emitting new fossil CO2, but actually remove some of the CO2 we have already emitted, the Earth will continue warming until it reaches a new equilibrium.Edit:I don't know the numbers on the deaths, and didn't feel like bothering to look up the best current estimates.To my knowledge, the timeframe for significant removal of CO2 from the carbon cycle is something on the order of a thousand years. I think the timeframe for reaching equilibrium warming from existing carbon in the carbon cycle is on the order of 100 years. Eventually, the excess CO2 will be removed, but it will take a *long* time. Before it's removed, it will finish causing the warming that has already started.Son of edit:Even if I have the exact timescales wrong, the concept still applies. I'm reasonably certain that the climate reaching equilibrium warming is on a faster timescale than excess CO2 leaving the atmosphere. Even if we entirely ceased net CO2 emissions today, which would require fairly drastic measures (either entirely ceasing fossil fuel use, or fairly massive carbon sequestration projects) the Earth would continue to warm until it reached "full" warming for the CO2 already in the system.
