World must wake up to climate change

MANY powerful people are, at long last, waking up to the real threat being posed to the world by global warming and consequent climate change. No matter how serious a situation is, human nature remains the same — we don’t start to act until a crisis arises.

Then, it’s more a case of reacting when it’s often too late.

World and EU powers are admitting that we’re facing the disastrous effects of climate change, unless radical action is taken now to reduce the emissions that lead to such catastrophic changes.
