A few days ago a server at a British University was hacked and hundreds of emails were stolen.
The emails were exchanges among climate change experts and the intent appears to discredit climate change before the December climate change summit in Copenhagen.
Climate change critics claim the emails show that data was manipulated to prove that climate change exists. The authors of the emails state that this is nonsense and the emails are a review of how to present the data.
I am sure the climate change critics will continue to use this as proof, even if none exists.
This morning CNN reported that “A possible rise in sea levels by 0.5 meters by 2050 could put at risk more than $28 trillion worth of assets in the world’s largest coastal cities, according to a report compiled for the insurance industry.”
“The report, released on Monday by WWF and financial services Allianz, concludes that the world’s diverse regions and ecosystems are close to temperature thresholds — or “tipping points.”
“Global temperatures have already risen by at least 0.7 degrees Celsius and the report says a further rise by 2-3 degrees in the second half of the century is likely unless deep cuts in emissions are put in place before 2015.”
“If we don’t take immediate action against climate change, we are in grave danger of disruptive and devastating changes,” said Kim Carstensen, the Head of WWF Global Climate Initiative.”
I am with the climate change experts. I don’t want my family to be forced to move to a top of a mountain to survive.
