Climate Safety : Emergency Briefing : 27 November 2008
jo | 13.11.2008 18:12 | Climate Chaos
It really is worse than we thought it was : and the Climate Safety Team have produced a report to let you know about it. The alarmists were right : the science from the last year shows that the IPCC report was too conservative. The Climate Safety report is being launched on 27th November. Do come along.
Climate Safety Invitation
On Thursday 27th November 2008, PIRC will launch the report "Climate Safety" at Friends Meeting House, Euston, London.
In this report, a full risk assessment is conducted based on the most recent Climate Science, resulting in a clear, incontrovertible message that we should be aiming for Zero Carbon, as fast as is humanly possible.
The Public Interest Research Centre have drawn on the inspiration of the Australian work "Climate Code Red" in this, their decision to raise the stakes on environmental policy in the UK.
"Climate Code Red" has had an enormous impact on the Australian Government's equivalent of the Stern Review from economist Professor Ross Garnaut.
The message of emerging urgency, a Climate Emergency, cannot be diluted or brushed aside. The Arctic Ocean is experiencing a meltdown, both unprecedented and unpredicted only a few years ago.
The conclusion is : the Science was pointing in the right direction, but without sufficient historical data could not be expected to uncover the severity of the problem.
The Earth's atmosphere has never had a composition like it has today, so scientists could not be expected to model the polar catastrophe with ultimate precision.
It is now clear that humankind has radically altered the natural Carbon Cycle, extracting ancient Carbon out of the ground in the form of Fossil Fuels and smoking it into the air.
PIRC admits that the UK Government is now focussed on the right issue, with the creation of the new Department for Energy and Climate Change.
Yet "Climate Safety" warns that our policy response to Climate Risk, even with a Climate Change Bill commitment of 80% Carbon Cuts by 2050, is not fully commensurate with the scale of the problem.
Globally, it needs an appropriate level of response to Climate Change, PIRC are saying. And that response must be Zero Carbon.
