Need anything else be said!


Need I say any more, and I apologise for sending this, but is reinforces my view and undoubtedly that of many Beneath the Wisteria supporters that the present response at societal level is absolutely inadequate.

I read this just today (October 30, 2013) – Robert.


In November 2012, the international accounting firm Price, Waterhouse Coopers issued a rather dire warning for the future of business on the planet. After all, if the human race is reduced to living in caves, or is extinct nobody is going to buy or sell anything.

In their news release sent out internationally and entitled “Business of Usual is Not an Option” as current rates of emissions reduction point to 6C of warming”, Jonathan Grant, director of sustainability and climate change said.

“The new reality is a much more challenging future in terms of planning, financing and predictability. Even doubling our current rates of decarbonisation globally every year to 2050, would still lead to 6C, making governments’ ambitions to limit warming to 2C appear highly unrealistic.”

Just a few months after the Price, Waterhouse, Cooper report, the World Bank came out with a detailed study confirming that unless radical are taken soon, the world would be looking at a five degree Celsius increase in temperature, purely from the burning of fossil fuels.
