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.

The world commnity has much to do


Price Waterhouse Coopers.
Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) have added their weight to the need to slow down the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.

As one of the world’s four largest accounting firms, PwC has released its low carbon economy index warning that if carbon dioxide emissions are to be contained, let alone reduced, as they must, then the world community has much to do.

A report published by Planet Ark headed: “Unprecedented world carbon emissions cuts neededby 2050: PwC” alerts readers that the world now needs to be cutting emissions by in excess of five per cent a year through to 2050.

Climate scientist have warned that the chance of limiting the rise to less than two degrees grows smaller each day, point to the fact that global carbon emissions jumped by three percent in 2011.
