Absent heroic efforts, the world has locked in dangerous climate change. Thats according to a much-anticipated report released on Monday in South Korea by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-sponsored collection of the worlds top scientists.
That stark, blunt assessment comes after years of deliberation at the request of the worlds most vulnerable nations to assemble pathways that could limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees C, now believed to be the upper limit that would preserve the stability of the worlds interconnected ecological and societal systems.
Some key conclusions: The world has already warmed by about 1 degree C and without a global coordinated effort, the world will reach 1.5 degrees in as little as 12 years. Several hundred million lives are at stake, according to the IPCC, and the actions that are required to ensure a just transition to a fossil-fuel free world have significant overlap with the actions that would be needed to reduce global poverty.

I told Mrs. jimfree to expect a photo of Goebbels. Oh well.
Between an Ice Age and a warmer planet, I'll take a warmer planet. Ice Ages suck.
Ping.
Thought you might want this heads-up, so we can “prep” by making stone tools. ;-)
Maybe we should give them what they want and when the Maunder Minimum currently in play materializes and the mini ice age begins, we Blame it ALL ON THEM and then we Execute the whole bunch for Crimes against Humanity.
Run in circles! Scream and shout!
Remember when Hillary said that?
They are funny.
They are hysterically funny.
They are funny like a buuny...with a pancake on his head!
Thanks familyop.
I think that the UN ought to leave our deplorable country and set up shop in Zimbabwe. We can use the vacated property to build the worlds largest super Wal Mart.
The article touts that “now they [climate hysterics] have the full weight of science behind them”. Uh . . . I thought that “97% of scientists” agreed to this decades ago?
UN is notorious for being wrong and lying to promote it’s world domination.
I think we have received the same dire warning that “the sky is falling” every year for nearly the last thirty years ... need a new drumbeat as we have become desensitized the dire calls of dread.
We are 15-20 thousand years into the interregnum of the current ice age, 7 thousand years into “civilization” and no one can tell what the average temperature should be. No one can tell how deep the ice will be on Manhattan in 25 thousand years. No one can tell how the ice ages began 2-3 million years ago. But, they are certain it is going to be too hot twenty years from now.
“...wouldnt doing something to stop warming be counter productive?”
doing something
Like WHAT?
What could stop warming (if it were occurring)?
These morons have no solutions because what they are talking about (reducing earth’s temperature) is beyond man’s control.
It is not possible.
My thermometer says 10 degrees F. A little cold for Thanksgiving day here in NY I’d say.
I guess they forgot they said the same thing 20 years ago....or think everyone else forgot.
