Great... now I have to reply.

I'm not so sure that warmer planet is something to fear of, unless it swings to the hot-house effect, it swinged into, during so many aeons. I would argue that as long as there's enough water, there's no problem. But as the water runs tight, desertification starts. And that's what we as a species should be focusing on. Preventing green plains from becoming deserts and reverting deserts to green plains.
We'll see, but the fact is, that this year we've had the longest summer since 1950's and the ice cover in Arctic was at a historical minimum (since it is being measured)...
But with all the fuzz with social, moral, economical situation in the "civilised world", I guess it's the last concern. Or the one that will take many years to show itself in a true form.

I'm not sure weather car exhausts are the prime driver.

Fortunatelly, it will take a century and it will be gradual, allowing people to relocate.

But for that the society needs to focus on educating young people, guide them morally, ethically, socially, ... and dare I say it (I mean it in a different way that it sounds)... to collectivness, not selfless individuallism.
