IPCC 4th Assessment Report on Climate Change

The IPCC report comes as environment ministers prepare for the 3-14 December Bali talks, where they will be asked to agree a two-year 'roadmap' of negotiations for accelerating cuts in greenhouse gases.
On current trends, it says, surging emissions of greenhouse gases will relentlessly warm earth's atmosphere, damaging ice and snow cover and causing the oceans to expand and thus rise. The impacts could be "abrupt or irreversible".
In such a scenario, humans would face wide-ranging misery in the form of crop failure, storm damage and ill health as drought, floods, cyclones, mosquito pests and water-borne disease become more frequent or intensive, it adds.

@diggyzerox And guess what? The Sun caused it.

The Climate always has and always will dictate to humans what energy policies are required, not the other way around. The climate is now naturally cooling and will be cooling for a long period.

climate change ! major problem

[diggyzerox]

All I want to say is that what is wrong with following a few simple green steps to reduce individual carbon foot print. The more people that do this, the more effect it will have. I mean this issue has been going on for a long time, what do we have to lose for a better tomorrow?

Also the CO2 they are talking about is the green house gases in the atmosphere. Its effect is to keep the planet warm, the more there is the warmer the planet gets, CO2 needed for life is different. also with the planet becoming less green and the our Carbon sinks failing more CO2 will enter the atmosphere which will cause climate change, since this is all done by humans thus it becomes anthropogenic climate change.

Global warming is real, average temperature of the world has risen and has continue to rise. Many people confuse average temperature with local temperature, global warming does not mean your town gets an extra 10 degrees in the summer, but on average the entire world becomes warmer.

All life does nuclear fusion from water

[JonThm]

High school biology teaches that says green plants evolved 650,000,000 years ago carbon dioxide can only rise in an ice-age. More available carbon dioxide, more life on earth. Not more carbon dioxide in the air. Global warming is fiction funded by nuclear power. The IPCC their paid stooges. And
