Young people will be left to pick up the bill for climate change because politicians are dodging the issue, a UK report warns.
The government must act faster to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from road traffic, homes and farming, the Committee on Climate Change says.
Without action, the coming generation will have to pay much more to curb emissions in a heating world.
The government says it is committed to being a world leader on climate change.
It will introduce its low-carbon transport plan soon.
The advisers are "acutely concerned" at the UK's lack of progress in cutting the carbon emissions overheating the planet.
The committee says the UK made a good start with the power industry but emissions cuts have effectively stalled in the past five years.
People committed to personally tackling climate change can avoid flying and eating meat - two of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases.
They maybe walk or cycle instead of taking the car - and they try to insulate their homes or turn the heating down.
They recycle too - but that probably helps less with the climate than many people think.

If we quit taxing producers to pay for a nonexistent problem, there is no cost.
Fine by me. Stay out of my pocket.
They will also get to enjoy the warm weather, plus corn grown in Canada and cotton from the Dakotas. Maybe they should pay?
The next generation is always presented with the liabilities of the past... as well as the assets.
On the liability side, there’s always the option of default. Oops... there would go pensions, savings... a major deflationary avalanche.
It’s called inter-generational balance.
The Global Carbon Tax is in peril.
The thing that really really sucks abotu htis issue is that If the climate cools again, as it always has, the left will claim “see? We were able to stave off climate change by our taxes fines and regulations- but we must keep acting so that we don’t get to that crisis level again’
And If the climate waRMs more- they will scream ‘See? We told you this would happen- we must now charge and fine people more to stem the damage”
No matter which way the wind blows- the left will claim they need to keep fining, taxing and regulating everyone
Wait till you get hit with the bill for their Social Security and Medicare.
Y'all gonna feel like poleaxed steers.
Its nice to know the climate never changed before humans were around. Just same climate for billions of years.
