Climate Safety report

I’ve come across a report ‘Climate Safety’ which I can thoroughly recommend.  If you can only cope with one decent read on the subject, read this one.  You can download it from this website:

http://climatesafety.org/

It is written by the Public Interest Research Centre and provides a simple summary of the latest science, delivering a clear message that to have any chance of maintaining a safe climate, we must rapidly decarbonise our society, preserve global carbon sinks, and address the problem with an unprecedented degree of seriousness.

Even with the UK government commitment to 80% carbon cuts by 2050, Climate Safety warns that our current policy response does not match up to the scale of the challenge.  I shall be explaining why this is the case at our next open meeting which is at the Brewery pub on Monday 28 September.
