The gathering risks of climate change are so profound they could stall or even reverse generations of progress against poverty and hunger if greenhouse emissions continue at a runaway pace, according to a major new United Nations report.
Despite rising efforts in many countries to tackle the problem, the overall global situation is growing more acute as developing countries join the West in burning huge amounts of fossil fuels, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said here on Sunday.
Failure to reduce emissions, the group of scientists and other experts found, could threaten society with food shortages, refugee crises, the flooding of major cities and entire island nations, mass extinction of plants and animals, and a climate so drastically altered it might become dangerous for people to work or play outside during the hottest times of the year.

I love the way the left is always yapping about how we must care about the poor, that they care about the poor and the right doesn’t. But their policies all hurt the poor, from their hatred of Wal-Mart to global warming.
Global warming — biggest threat to mankind ever, it’s on a “runaway” pace now, the ONLY thing that will save us is trillions in new taxes
Ebola - no problem, risk is vanishingly small, keep bringing over infected West Africans, there is no need to deploy empirically proven quarantines to contain the outbreak, “we are fully prepared.”
Is it any wonder government can’t be believed on anything?
Yes, if something isn’t done about Global Warming we’re all going to freeze to death!
I though so too........ if man is causing too much carbon dixoide and plants need it to live............. isn’t producing more c.d. helping plants grow?
(I am so confused)
Its the impending ice age that hurts the hungry (women and children worse).
Bingo.....we have a winner...
Obama and the dims lie about everything....so they also lie about global warming/climate change.
So the reality is we face global cooling and another mini ice age.
Not good when the dims are choking off coal and nuclear power.
Millions will die...just as Bill Ayres and the environazis want.
Last ditch effort to sell the scam of the millenium
How dare those developing nations want to chase away the dark, have clean water and food.
CO2 is plant food,always has been.
Perhaps they might be taken more seriously if they had ever been right about a single environmental crisis, or if global warming hadn’t stopped 17 years ago instead of increasing as they predicted.
Record snow in the Great Smokey Mountains region in one of the coldest years on record, and we’re back to this.
Ho . . .
. . . . hum.
This is how the UN keeps third world nations down.
No more Co2 emissions means “smoke em’ if you got em’”
Eventually some places may be able to grow crops year round with no freeze, wouldn’t that be nice and 2x as much food.

It was suppose to happen years ago.
To date the Islands are still above water and NOTHING has happened. Maybe these guys should wait with their gloom and doom until ONE LITTLE THING HAPPENS that they predict.
The again the Population Bomb was right - and we're all starving. And peak Oil? Yep, we're all out of oil. And that resource thing? Yep, no copper, gold, or silver... Liberal elites HAVE BEEN WRONG ON EVERY SCARE story for decades... This one will be no different.
