The Grim Reaper Reports on Global Warming

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UN has come out with it’s 4th and final report on Global Warming, released today at a session of the IPCC (UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) . The 20 page summary report projects a grim picture of the world due to the effects of climate change . But, also insist that if the governments of the world take notice and do what is recommended in the report than we can avoid catastrophe. The report favors mandatory reductions of greenhouse gases, and will be used as a blueprint for negotiations in Bali, Indonesia, in talks that will be held next month to discuss what agreements will follow the expiration of the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement by 36 nations to lower greenhouse emissions by 2012. The United States, Australia, China and other developing Nations are not participants to this agreement.

The report, put together by the thousands scientists that make up the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, basically are telling us that if we don’t do anything to combat the imminent temperature change than it will be our demise. The world will succumb to droughts, rising sea-levels, flooding of coastlines, melting of the ice caps, and other catastrophic events.

There are the believers and the un-believers in Global Warming. “Global Warming” has become a charged phrase that evokes emotional responses from both sides. Whether or not the science backs up Global Warming and the claims of the believers, let’s just agree that our “Polluting” of the earth is catching up with us and we need to stop. Keep it simple and un-politicized.

I agree that we all need to step-up and change of attitudes and behaviors to help our earth. If we all do, we will make a difference in making our environment more green and preserving it.

Do you think that they will change their predictions just like they changed their AIDS numbers today. As always the UN makes dire predictions to redistribute wealth. Don’t fall for bad science you should be smarter than that
