Sustainable issue

I know I posted this up earlier, but here it is again:

If you like the film clip of 'Architecture 2030 presentation', there is another related portion to it and it is called the '2010 imperative'. (http://www.2010imperative.org) Pratt posted it up online and all over school about this. I personally didn't get the chance to watch it since there were some technical difficulty over the webcast, so it sucked! But I'm guessing that the large portion of presentation is similar to the one that Ed Mazria Pienary presented in the 'Architecture 2030 presentation'; That we have a 10 year window to fix this global warming issue. It is not a definite time frame but the egg heads at some enviornmental institute had to give an estimate so as arbitrarily as it sounds, 10 was the number they popped up with.

Since we're going with this number 10, I was thinking if it would be possible for us, as a species, to solve the global warming issue in time? Before coastal portion of New York will be under water, as well as other parts of the world. Before another huge hurricane destroy another city.
