Scientists Grapple with Climate as Crisis Grows

[True_Blue]

EXETER, England (Reuters) - Scientists will step into a feud between Washington and its allies over global warming at a British-sponsored meeting this week.

The conference comes just days after an international report described the climate crisis as a time bomb and a conservation group warned of disastrous warming in the Arctic.

Scientists from 30 nations as varied as Australia, India and Japan will meet in Exeter, England, from Feb. 1-3 to try to define what constitutes "dangerous" levels of warming. But they will not make any recommendations to policymakers.

"The purpose is to have a debate of the scientific facts. We will collect the best information we have to give to the politicians ... but don't expect to make any recommendations," conference chairman Dennis Tirpak said ahead of the meeting.

1. As always, corporations rule the planet they are killing

dems and repugs have their heads in the sand. They listen only to those that line their pockets.

Plan for a short life, friends.

2. Let's start pressuring our Reps & Senators about this.

They need to see these articles and know that their constituents are concerned.

3. The politicians are owned by the Corporations. No one speaks for

the little person.

4. Liberty Belle is right. WE need to speak. NOW.

let's collect these articles, print them out and send them to our reps. It's a choice between living to old age or dying within 30 years (according to a scientist I know who has studied climate change for 45 years).

6. I'm all for it. I am just too cynical after watching politics to think

that the little person has any say in either party.
No money in the little people.

7. Well, you are assured that you'll have no say

when you don't use your voice.
