A properly regulated industry will balance the needs of consumers, the needs of the company, and the sustainability of the resource.
'World forest cover was some 70 million Km-sq 10,000 years ago,while it is somewhat more than 35 million today.The world has lost about half of its trees since the horticultural revolution,and of those it has lost,more than half have been cut down since 1970.As of the mid-1990s over 200,000 km-sq of tropical forests were vanishing each year,at which rate the forests would disappear by 2040.'

As I understand it,the IPCC will not publish a prediction unless there's a high degree of certainty to the magnitude and time frame.
Since we're in an untried experiment,we have no a priori knowledge about how things are actually going to go,there's no way any climatologist can actually pin hard numbers or time frames on scenarios.
That said,what some of the climatologists are observing is advancing so quickly,and geometrically,that they warn that we don't have the luxury to wait until we have 'certainty.' We'll be beyond the tipping points,and the disruption irreversible.
The IPCC has all the worse-case-scenarios in hand,but they can't factually say anything about them.

I like how Al remains cool as a cucumber while all his minions do all the freaking out.
I'm surprised that no one else is finding this behavior a little suspicious.
What Al Gore does as an individual is of little concern to me.
So far,I've not been able to find flaw with the science he's shared.I'm still looking.
I'll be sticking with the peer-reviewed science,by climatologists.
The ad hominem attacks don't do a thing for me.

This is why when I consider design criteria for my own dream home, the envelope is -120 to +140°F. and wind speeds up to 250-300mph. It seems reasonable to me, any airplane fuselage* with adequate insulation and power would do.

Airborne debis excepted?

The guy that reviewed that paper in 2009, James Shirley works at nasa JPL and edited the encyclopedia of interplanetary sciences. Right now he appears to be studying the effects of solar minimum on mars climate. Probably because of the political back lash attached to suggestion that man made global warming may not be the driving force behind climate change on earth.
You might say he sees the big picture like no one else.
Does he work at the NASA Goddard Space Institute? If not,his specific expertise might not be germane when discussing the earth's climatology.
Interplanetary science is not planetary science.

My position is that the climate has been changing for the last several billion years and now man thinks he is the driving force.
I have always said the planet is warming, as it has been for the last 10,000 to 12,000 years, i would be more worried if it were cooling and man likely has some effect.
If you resolve the troposphere into a single sphere,at standard temperature and pressure,it's shadow will only cover half the width of the USA.
Since the start of the Industrial revolution,man has burnt the equivalent of Earth's entire forest cover,300-times.
Picture in your mind, 30,000 years worth of 100-year-old oak forest in a single bonfire.That's a snapshot of anthropogenic carbon.

How long did it take to gunny-bag that list?

It's unweighted and unsorted. Things and places. Some I'd need to look up. I prefer an overarching narrative — one that can accommodate Earth weather and space weather, since they are all one thing. It turns out Earthspots and sunspots act the same and share features:
