In other words, we're screwed.

The world has just five years to avoid being trapped in a scenario of perilous climate change and extreme weather events, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned on Wednesday.


On current trends, "rising fossil energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climate change," the IEA concluded in its annual World Energy Outlook report.


"The door to 2.0 C is closing," it said, referring to the 2.0 Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) cap on global warming widely accepted by scientists and governments as the ceiling for averting unmanageable climate damage.


Without further action, by 2017 the total CO2 emissions compatible with the 2.0 C goal will be "locked in" by power plants, factories and other carbon-emitting sources either built or planned, the IEA said....continued

NASA's position on man-made climate change...its real:

"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced
and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years." ---NASA

Same old nonsense. Push the goaline back and squeal. This is the same nasa that had to correct it's data that they based all thier lunacy on. Aren't they supposed to be welcoming muslims into the US now anyway?? Why do we even have nasa anymore?? There is no space program. I guess this is Obama moving America foreward?

Climate change is real, the climate will change no matter what humans do just as it has changed for millions of years before humans were on this planet. The Earth's climate will continue to change long after humans are gone.

Anyone who buys the crap being sold by political groups who turn "made made climate change" into cash is an idiot.

Since there ain't no possibility of a political solution within five years we might as well ignore the environuts anyways.
