World must fix climate in less than 10 years: U.N. - Yahoo! News: "Unless the international community agrees to cut carbon emissions by half over the next generation, climate change is likely to cause large-scale human and economic setbacks and irreversible ecological catastrophes, a U.N. report said on Tuesday.
The U.N. Human Development Report issued one of the strongest warnings yet of the lasting impact of climate change on living standards and a strong call for urgent collective action.
The report, presented in Brasilia on Tuesday, sets targets and a road map to reduce carbon emissions before a U.N. climate summit next month in Bali, Indonesia.
'The message for Bali is the world cannot afford to wait. It has less than a decade to change course,' said Watkins, a senior research fellow at Britain's Oxford University."
