So do you have a number for the probability of C02 induced warming leading the collapse of civilisation? Can you sketch the calculation by which you would arrive at a believable estimate?

Writers hardly need plot consciously! This sort of manipulation doesn't need teaching - the worst authors know that romance is what should happen to the good guys in the interesting foreground of a story. And for people who haven't thought about it a second's affect confirms that a corporation selling water is a fine bad guy. Who thinks of nit-picking whether the policy is inefficient except the kinds of geeks who check whether the technological background to sci-fi or the historical accuracy of period dramas is realistic?
