Appreciated this … thank you.

Okay … listening through … I don’t think your comments that this is a problem decades from now is anywhere near to an accurate discussion. There are quite serious impications already occurring, today, throughout the globe. The serious implications, already occurring, meet any rational definition of “catastrophic impacts” if defined decades ago — species going extinct, refugees, $billions in economic impacts, etc …
See, for example, http://getenergysmartnow.com/2012/02/06/the-climate-has-shifted-to-a-new-state/
And, re your groundhog discussion, I really thought it was going to be about this: http://thinkprogress.org/green/2012/02/02/417106/global-warming-hates-groundhog-day/
Yes! The smell in ‘gas’ is artificial – it is Hydrogen Sulfite and gives gas that rotten egg smell. It is a marker that allows us to detect the smell and to make it distinctly awful and identifiable. Hydrogen Sulfite is toxic in itself.
