      We have only had 130 years to adapt for the greenhouse effect, that is much shorter than EU needs to agree on something that important.

      In 1896 Svante Arrhenius calculated the effect of a doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide to be an increase in surface temperatures of 5–6 degrees Celsius.
