Nog 10 jaar om klimaatverandering te stoppen

"The world has less than a decade to reverse the growth in greenhouse gas emissions if dangerous climate change is to be avoided, according to a report from a thinktank that goes further than the landmark Stern review last week.
Lord Stern's report said that unless greenhouse emissions were tackled the world faced an economic downturn on a par with the great depression.

Yesterday's report from the Institute of Public Policy Research suggests Lord Stern's analysis was too conservative and governments need to move further and faster. To minimise the risk of a 2C rise - seen as the threshold for dangerous climate change - the authors say global carbon dioxide emissions would need to peak between 2010 and 2013."

Nog 10 jaar te gaan....als ik er al aan denk dat Noord-Zuid lijn ongeveer 10 jaar kost om te bouwen dan moeten er nog een hoop gebeuren.
