Ten Years Left
The Independent out of the UK is reporting that the world has ten years left to avert catastrophe. They are reporting on the much expected yet still famous report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control (IPCC). It is a panel setup jointly by the UN and the World Meteorological Society back in the late 1980's.
The report by the IPCC is the first volume of a multi volume assessment. This first volume confirms the impact of global warming on the planet. Additional volumes detailing the panels projections of the impact on the planet and then steps that can be taken to minimize, reduce or slow that impact will follow afterwards.
Then the Independent seems to leap away from the report and mention that some experts believe that the world appears to have ten years left to enact policies that might take action soon enough to stem the problem.
Their report seems to have moved away from the facts with the last sentence.
