The evidence of climate change is everywhere and yet we have done nought

Joe Romm.

The urgent need to respond to our changing climate is evident everywhere and yet in terms of effective preparation we have done nought.

Writing on Climate Progess Joe Romm quotes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that says: “Starvation, poverty, flooding, heat waves, droughts, war and disease (are) likely to worsen as the world warms from man-made climate change”.

In a story headed: “IPCC: climate impacts ‘Are very evident, they’re widespread’ and ‘We are not prepared’”.

He concludes by saying: “The time to act is now”.
