| UN Chief Scientist, Dr Rajendra Pachuari |
Good news about our
changing climate is rather difficult to find, probably because there is none.
Emphasizing that, just today (September 3) the head of the
United Nation’s group of climate scientists, Rajendra Pachuari, said the
humanity can no longer be content kicking the can down the road when it comes
to climate change.
In a Climate Progress
story headed: “UN Chief Scientist Urges Action On Climate Change: ‘We Have FiveMinutes Before Midnight’”, he said, “We may utilize the gifts of nature just as
we choose, but in our books the debits are always equal to the credits.
“May I submit that humanity has completely ignored, disregarded
and been totally indifferent to the debits? Today we have the knowledge to be
able to map out the debits and to understand what we have done to the condition
of this planet,” he said.
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
which Pachuari heads, is slated to release its long-awaited Fifth Assessment
Report (AR5) later this month.
