OXFORD, England (AP) — Humanity has only two years left “to save the world” by making dramatic changes in the way it spews heat-trapping emissions and it has even less time to act to get the finances behind such a massive shift, the head of the United Nations climate agency said.
With governments of the world facing a 2025 deadline for new and stronger plans to curb carbon pollution, nearly half of the world's populations voting in elections this year, and crucial global finance meetings later this month in Washington, United Nations executive climate secretary Simon Stiell said Wednesday he knows his warning may sound melodramatic. But he said action over the next two years is “essential.”
“We still have a chance to make greenhouse gas emissions tumble, with a new generation of national climate plans. But we need these stronger plans, now,” Stiell said in a speech at the Chatham House think tank in London. He suggested that climate action is not just for powerful people to address — in a not-so-veiled reference to the electoral calendar this year.

January 2006...18 years ago, Al Gore said we only had 10 years left to save the planet.
Well, Simon, it’s not going to happen, so you might as well just kill yourself now.
If rapidly cutting greenhouse emissions is done, nothing will happen except for causing horrible economic collapse, with billions of people impoverished and millions dead.
It’s already too late to fix it this way.
Spend your time working on mitigation. Build dikes, desalination plants and get ready to move people (voluntarily).
Ok. What is the specific plan? What will be done about coal plants, exactly? Not generalities. What specific technical actions need to be taken? How much will each cost? Who will do each of the projects? What are the steps to be carried out?
Of course none of these questions can be answered. They just want gobs of money to keep for themselves.
Faster action for a non-problem, for which there is no solution????
