Another story about the urgency of addressing climate change


There is undoubted urgency about doing what we can to arrest climate change.

A story published today in the Sydney Morning Herald further emphasizes the need for immediate action to reduce, if not eliminate, the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, or certainly those of the developed countries.
 
A story headed: “Degrees of devastation: major report warns of drastically hotter planet said, “The World Bank has warned the planet is on track to warm by four degrees Celsius this century - causing increasingly extreme heat waves, lower crop yields and rising sea levels - unless significant action is taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions”.

The story says: “The World Bank is the second major international body this month to raise concerns about the rate of greenhouse gas emissions being released into the atmosphere”.
