Playing Russian Roulette with Climate Change

Decision-makers have not faced up to just how close the world may be to the climate “tipping point.” According to the latest science, the current proposals for an international climate-change agreement will result in warming of more than 4°C during this century – double the 2°C maximum endorsed by the G-8 and other leaders.

GENEVA – Mounting skepticism and deadlocked negotiations have culminated in an announcement that the Copenhagen Climate Conference will not result in a comprehensive global climate deal. Disappointing? Certainly. But the Copenhagen climate summit was always meant to be a transitional step. The most important thing to consider is where we will go from here.
