Incidentally, there's a terminology in Science called "the leverage point" a.k.a. "the point of no return" which postulates: any reaction whether big or small are usually irreversible. However, once it reached the leverage point, the process becomes irreversible no matter what we do to halt the process. Well, we haven't reach the leverage point yet in terms of CO2 emissions but by the way we're emitting CO2 in the atmosphere coupled-up with the trashing of the Kyoto Agreement (that Treaty in the late 90's signed by the Industrial World to curb CO2 emissions), we might as well be on our way to the leverage point that no matter what we do in the future to stop it (e.g. plant a gazillion plants to suck up the CO2), our efforts will be in vain since the thick CO2 will just overwhelm any life form here on Earth. Unfortunately, some countries are not fully abiding by the Treaty just as when it is badly needed.
