In his 2010 book* Requiem For a Species *Clive accepts and cites the Alice Bows/Kevin Anderson view that civilization as we know it is almost certainly committed as of now to an unstable 4 degree warming this century, and that change of that magnitude threatens its existence. (Anderson explains his views here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RInrvSjW90U>. Clive himself sums up his 2010 book from minute 6:45 in this video, i.e. here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mccKiZ9AfE>)
The surprise for me, given that Clive believes it likely that civilization has already committed itself to destruction is the fact that despite his claim to the contrary, he really does seem to oppose all research into geoE. Otherwise he would be putting forward a proposal to deal with his concerns rather than endlessly repeating his list of questions in any forum he can find.
