It's not can we stop..it's more of a case can we moderate it? If we don't throw that much greenhouse gases at an accelerating rate to allow the planet's mechanisms to adjust to a stable equilibrium of climate, it might not be a bad thing. We are already experiencing weather extremes in America that hasn't happened since the end of the Little Ice Age and is not accounted by solar radiation fluctuations. The global mean temperature has been climbing for the last 50 years. If the trend keeps going up, fighting for resources that we had taken for granted like fresh water between nations will be inevitable. An example would be the Galilee River. Which is shared by Israel, Syria and Jordan. What happens if the output is sharply diminished? You already have squabbles between Southern California, Northern California, Arizona and New Mexico for water. Care to see what happens when even 10 percent of that water is gone?
