Earth remineralisation reverses the CO and CO2 emissions trend !!! See 
www.remineralization.org . Seedballing enables rapid reforestation. See 
http://www.seedballs.com/  We have the knowledge and the tools so let's all 
get on with it wherever we are, now, shall we !!

> Global warming demands urgent solutions: scientists
>
> By Jeremy Lovell Mon Jan 30, 5:41 PM ET
>
> LONDON (Reuters) - The world must halt greenhouse gas emissions and 
> reverse them within two decades or watch the planet
> spiraling toward destruction, scientists said on Monday.

> Saying that evidence of catastrophic global warming from burning fossil 
> fuels was now incontrovertible, the experts from
> oceanographers to economists, climatologists and politicians stressed that 
> inaction was unacceptable.
>
> "Climate change is worse than was previously thought and we need to act 
> now," Henry Derwent, special climate change
> adviser to British Prime Minister
> Tony Blair, said at the launch of a book of scientific papers on the 
> global climate crisis.
>
> Researcher Rachel Warren from the Tyndall Center for Climate Change 
> Research, who contributed to the book "Avoiding
> Dangerous Climate Change," said carbon dioxide emissions had to peak no 
> later than 2025, and painted a picture of
> rapidly approaching catastrophe.
>
> Global average temperatures were already 0.6 Celsius above pre-industrial 
> levels, and a rise of just 0.4C more would see
> coral reefs wiped out, flooding in the Himalayas and millions more people 
> facing hunger, she said.
>
> A rise of 3C -- just half of what scientists have warned is possible this 
> century -- would see 400 million people going
> hungry, entire species being wiped out and killer diseases such as dengue 
> fever reaching pandemic proportions.
>
> "To prevent all of this needs global emissions to peak in 2025 and then 
> come down by 2.6 percent a year," Warren said.
>
> "But even then we would probably face a rise of 2 degrees because of the 
> delay built into the climate system. So we have
> to start to plan to adapt," she added.
>
> Already the effects of the change are becoming visible, with more extreme 
> weather events and people in coastal areas put
> at risk from rising sea levels due to melting ice caps.
>
> The first phase of the global
> Kyoto protocol on cutting greenhouse gas emissions runs until 2012, and 
> negotiations have only just started on finding a
> way of taking it beyond that.
>
> The United States, the world's biggest polluter, has rejected both the 
> protocol in its current form and any suggestion
> of expanding or extending it.
>
> Instead it has set up with Australia, India, China, Japan and
> South Korea the Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development.
