After Kyoto, Copenhagen. Will It Work This Time?

Filed under: Climate change,Green politics — admin @ 6:20 pm

A 60 to 80 per cent drop in greenhouse gas emissions is needed now if we are to avoid an irreversible slide into a gravely changed world.

A number of scientists were interviewed about how they feel about the progress made and expectations for Copenhagen to deliver real and immediate action.

Overall they are struggling to be optimistic. The consequences of insufficient action now are probably unimaginable. What are the consequences of a 2C or 2.5C in your life? Food, water, shelter, the good life. All at risk.

Here are the interviews.

Take care!
