James Hansen - Maybe Ten Years Left For Last Chance To Reduce Emissions

[hatrack]

A leading US climate scientist has warned that the world has one decade to get to grips with climate change.

Dr James Hansen told a meeting of American Geophysical Union in San Francisco that just 1C more of warming would take the Earth into climate patterns it has not experienced for more than 500,000 years.

But he said determined action on energy efficiency to bring about reductions in greenhouse gas emission could lead to some stabilisation.

The United Nations conference on climate change is reaching its climax in Montreal as environment ministers from around the world joined delegates to try to reach agreement on a plan to cut greenhouse gases.

1. How Americans hear this:

"...so there are only ten more years left to take advantage of great savings and 0% financing on a NEW HUMMER!!!"

Hurry on down.

2. And a $100k tax credit

As long as the SUV weighs at least 6000 pounds, get a $100k tax credit too!

3. Dear Santa:

I want determined action on energy efficiency to bring about reductions in greenhouse gas emission.

And I want a 50-foot yacht, and a (tall) private island in the carribean and a billion dollars and a bicycle and a "My little Pony".

I Bet it'll be socks again. It's always bloody socks.

5. Hansen?

This is the same Hansen who spoke to Congress on Global Warming right in the middle of a heat wave back in '88, right?
