January 18, 200917 yr Al Gore's climate expert says that the sky is still falling. Story at noon and at 6 and at 10 and at 11. Ignore the snow, ignore the record breaking low temperatures, ignore the cooling oceans - these are just a prelude to runaway global warming. It is Mother Earth's way of giving her creatures one last chance before unleashing her wrath. :lol: President 'has four years to save Earth' US must take the lead to avert eco-disaster Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that action will have to be taken within Obama's first administration, he added. Soaring carbon emissions are already causing ice-cap melting and threaten to trigger global flooding, widespread species loss and major disruptions of weather patterns in the near future. "We cannot afford to put off change any longer," said Hansen. "We have to get on a new path within this new administration. We have only four years left for Obama to set an example to the rest of the world. America must take the lead." Hansen said current carbon levels in the atmosphere were already too high to prevent runaway greenhouse warming. Yet the levels are still rising despite all the efforts of politicians and scientists. Only the US now had the political muscle to lead the world and halt the rise, Hansen said. Having refused to recognise that global warming posed any risk at all over the past eight years, the US now had to take a lead as the world's greatest carbon emitter and the planet's largest economy. Cap-and-trade schemes, in which emission permits are bought and sold, have failed, he said, and must now be replaced by a carbon tax that will imposed on all producers of fossil fuels. At the same time, there must be a moratorium on new power plants that burn coal - the world's worst carbon emitter.

January 18, 200917 yr :lol: What a moron! This is the ever present Climaterroist that we now have to deal with. The earth has rotated, revolved, evolved, and renewed itself quite nicely for billions of years and now it comes down to having only 4 years to save the planet? Sure. Presumptuous indeed.
