Editorial: Window of Opportunity

[Wild Cobra]

I don't agree with many things the climate sciences claim, but I did think many of you would appriciate this editorial:

First paragraph:

 

Peruvian President Ollanta Humala recently called for the “greatest alliance the world has ever seen” to tackle climate change and its impacts. This month his nation hosts, in Lima, the 20th Conference of the Parties (COP20) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Many see the meeting as a critical stepping stone on the path towards achieving a universal and legally binding international climate agreement, to be adopted, if all goes to plan, at COP21 in Paris in December 2015.

 

[Tim the plumber]

The Lima meeting comes on the heels of the release of the IPCC's latest Synthesis Report, which was agreed in Copenhagen in late October. Hailed as the “most comprehensive assessment of climate change yet undertaken” it contains few surprises.

 

And there was me thinking that the headlines from the report were that the problem was twice as bad as prviously thought... must be my faulty memory.

Here are the headlines to the Synthesis Report for those not trusting Tim's admittedly faulty memory / possibly flawed comprehension.
