WASHINGTON (AP) — The world still isn't close to preventing what leaders call a dangerous level of man-made warming, a new United Nations report says. That's despite some nations' recent pledges to cut back on carbon dioxide emissions.
The report looks at the gap between what countries promise to do about carbon pollution and what scientists say needs to be done to prevent temperatures rising another two degrees. The two-degree level is a goal that world leaders set in 2009.
"The time window (for reaching that goal) is closing, closing," said United Nations undersecretary for environment Achim Steiner. And the cost of getting to that goal "is increasing, increasing."

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
What do these so-called UN “leaders” lead? ISIS is still chopping off heads of innocent people.
That is why they stopped calling it Global Warming and are now calling it Global Climate Change.
It is much better if you have a scam that is impossible to disprove. With Global Cooling and then Global Warming, eventually the rubes started to notice that none of the predictions ever occurred. That is not a problem with Global Climate Change.
Is it warmer than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
Is it colder than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
Is it windier than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
Is it less windy than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
Is it cloudier than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
Is it less cloudy than usual today? It is because of Global Climate Change.
It doesn't matter what the weather happens to be. Whenever there is bad weather, it is because of Global Climate Change.
I constantly strive to be politically correct. It is just so hard sometimes to keep up with the most current rules.
The one that always gives me trouble is "people of color." Why is it that "people of color" is politically correct, but "colored people" is not?
Is it inserting the word "of" that makes all the difference? Does that mean I can refer to illegal aliens as "backs of wet" and be politically correct?
Simple. More taxes, spending and government regulation. It is the answer to every problem.
Tell that to the people of buffalo NY 6 feet of snow and counting. These criminals are still pushing this scam
Climate change=permanent funding
Great graphic!
WTF kind of title is that?
They better get their money fast. Before the world freezes.
Dennis Miller says it is not a good time to be talking about Global Warming when there is 6 foot of snow in Buffalo.
"We're all going to be living our lives in the future. Future events such as these are going to affect us in the future."
Bikini Atoll. Get that, and I'm in.
Naa, too nice for them.
Bikini Atoll now open for tourism!
Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, in their July 2000 issue, declared Bikini Atoll as one of the "Top 50 Worldwide Island Escapes" stating: "...There are not many places that could look more like the Garden of Eden..."
Lol!
Screw Bikini, I’m up for Kwajalein.... I wanna dive on a fully-loaded, heavily armed (live 21” torps and all) German heavy cruiser like the Prinz Eugen , which is turtle-up on the bottom of the lagoon (unless she’s at Eniwetok instead). Just imagine all the ballsy phun we could have, farting around in her torp lockers!
