Working on getting cleaner techonolgy and green energy sources could have more impact than trying to lobby China into changing.

I think its pretty impressive that a scientist can tell us what the CO2 levels were 400,000 years ago. How do they do it?
The life on this earth is adepted to the present weather and not the weather that was 400,000 years ago.
Genetic changes can very well need a few hundred or thousand years to make that adeption to be able to life with the weather from that time.
