LONDON (Reuters) – Humanity faces a profound emergency and unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, a joint editorial published in newspapers in 45 countries said on Monday.

The 56 newspapers said they were taking the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice to implore world leaders to "make the right choice" at U.N. climate talks in Copenhagen.

"The politicians in Copenhagen have the power to shape history's judgment on this generation: one that saw a challenge and rose to it, or one so stupid that we saw a calamity coming but did not avert it," the editorial read.

Two-weeks of talks open on Monday seeking to agree curbs on greenhouse gas emissions and raise billions of dollars for the poor in aid and clean technology.

The talks end with a summit of 105 world leaders, including U.S. President Barack Obama, on December 18 and must overcome deep distrust between rich and poor nations about sharing the burden of costly cuts in carbon emissions.

"Climate change has been caused over centuries, has consequences that will endure for all time and our prospects of taming it will be determined in the next 14 days," ..

It was published in 20 languages, including Chinese, Arabic and Russian, in newspapers including the Guardian in London, Le Monde in France, the Toronto Star, Gulf Times, Botswana Guardian and Miami Herald.

"This should not be a fight between the rich world and the poor world, between east and west. Climate change affects everyone, and must be solved by everyone.

"The science is complex, but the facts are clear. The world needs to take steps to limit temperature rises to 2C, an aim that will require global emissions to peak and begin falling within the next 5-10 years.

Good to see the presstitutes maintaing their typical unbiased attitude on this issue.

The media prostitutes itself for an agenda we all end up paying for but is that gonna stop the fUN in the meantime in Copenhagen the next few days?

Plans to coincide with Nopenhagen were laid months ago - not gonna let the facts interfere with their agenda now - they never have before.

[Nervous Tick]

They’re begging now. Three weeks ago and they wouldn’t have bothered with editorials, figuring the fix was already in.

We got ‘em right where we want ‘em.

LONDON (Reuters) – Humanity faces a profound emergency and unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change scam artists will ravage our planet...

Fixed.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Isn’t that a picture of charlie gibson sucking up to ozero?

I’m freezing my butt off now. I want some global warming.

[kingu]

I agree, we should take urgent action. Let's build a huge series of nuclear plants along the Mediterranean coast, and install massive pipelines and desalination plants to harvest water from the Mediterranean sea, then pump that water into the Sahara desert. We can plant crops and turn that wasteland into a productive place within just a few years, and overturn every possible, even under the most dire of predictions, the effect of man on the world's climate.

They do not want us to stop anything, all they want is for the money machine to start pumping. It's Africa Aid all over again, it's a massive tax on the west to give to the third world. And it has nothing to do with human climate change.

Yeah! It’s going to be 6 degrees, here in Yakima, tonight with a wind-chill below that. Needless to say, ‘global warming’ is hell.

The irony. Most likely over the next twenty or more years we shall see increased global cooling leading to huge numbers of deaths world wide. The only peoples that will not be effected will be those that live on the equator and within oceanic island systems, a few degrees north and south of it. The rest in the lowest southern countries and the northern countries will experience increasing low temperatures and horrible snow storms, extended cold rains, cloudy weather, reduced growing seasons for grains etc..
I can see now where all the elitist will be heading. They got the millions to buy real estate in those areas that will stay somewhat warm.

[Marine_Uncle]

I should have added. Obviously we all have taken note that the buzz word is no longer global warming but climate change. The bastards must actually think the people of earth actually think they are even in the slightest degree honest and forthright.
With that I have to hit the sack. Work comes early.

We are surrounded! Just read an article from NewsBusters.org detailing Comcast Execs giving large donations to Obama: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/12/06/comcast-execs-gave-large-donations-obama-democrats This crap is getting way deep, me thinks we need more than pitchforks now. It's 2010 or else!

[McGavin999]

What a bunch of whores. Notice I don’t call them prostitutes because at least prostitutes get something for it, the media just lays down and spreads their legs for free.

Another example of group think. Is there no independence left in the world?
