The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently released a report saying that humanity is in a "critical situation" due to rising gas emissions. We can't achieve "climate stabilization" unless we act immediately warns Ottmar Edenhofer, the committee's co-chair.
The thing I found most interesting about this report was the expertise of the committee participants. A committee to study climate change should include meteorologists/climatologists, wouldn't you think? Yet the three-chairmen of the committee are an economist, an electrical/mechanical engineer, and a Cuban social scientist. Kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it?
