Experts warn of global disaster
18 11 2007Another interesting article about climate change.
GLOBAL warming is destroying species, raising sea levels and threatening millions of poor people, the United Nations’ top scientific panel said in a report yesterday.
The report argues that only firm action, including a price on carbon dioxide emissions, will avoid more catastrophic events.
Those actions will take a small part of the world’s economic growth and will be substantially less than the costs of doing nothing, the report will say.
The report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be important ammunition when world leaders meet in Bali next month to decide what to do after the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. The UN and many countries want strong mandatory reductions of the greenhouse gases that drive global warming
