It was a long wait. Six years between Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports on the state of our planet (i) . This time, the scientists wanted to be sure they were right (ii) . Eighty-seven percent right to be safe (iii) .
to what happens when you get the bad science? You have to wait a generation for people to begin to trust you again. And when it comes to climate change and the impacts on our planet of global warming, which is just too long. We are living on borrowed time already.
I am a parent and teacher
When this generation hand responsibility for the governance of our home for our children? When they are 10? Too young. When 20 perhaps? But on the 30th, you are now on the undisputed territory. And if you and I messed up - our stewardship of our home and our children - then you'd better have a good answer for them because otherwise they will never trust us again
"! What did you do in the war, daddy?"
This was a cry for two, and even three recent generations. He was like a badge for our grandparents to wear with pride. And it does not matter today if they were supposed victors or losers. Because the losing nations of Japan and Germany; their people were more determined than ever to show how really great they were and as a race, a people and a society today.
Great War, the Second World War - that was all about?
propaganda for both parties. Yes, part of it was made by both parties, for sure.
This was for them then. Over a period of four long years, and each time, the issue is a huge importance.
Our survival? So, too, for us now.
What did you do to save the planet today, Dad?
"Not much" I fear the current generation will be able to claim (iv) .
Why? Just because of our doubts, our skepticism! Where is the enemy? Where is the battle exactly?
There is the joy of the young cast contempt upon the views of their parents, the views of their generation. Passing the baton to the next generation means that you have not only raised awareness that there is a problem, but our generation was unwilling or unable to resolve it for them. Too big and out of care for ourselves.
I am a scientist. This was my education.
Not because of my parents. Just because as a child, I saw the mysteries of the underwater world displayed for the first time in the world by Jacques Cousteau.
The first DVD was my daughter saw Finding Nemo . What an incredible story and a different worldview. Shark said: "Fish is the food" Right on True Otherwise how a shark can live
But the biggest rubbery looking shark said.!? "Fish are friends. " What are you doing? It is a turn to the books for you.
Today I went to see my doctor an unusual thing. He had been monitored for some time. He got big. But then when I changed where I live, the environment, it flourished in, he also changed, became less aggressive, less completely horrible and debilitating. Restore what I value in my life; my children and my health.
So, too, for our planet.
Cleanliness, safety, taking care of our planet, not to be invaded by a mass of foreign objects, substances, disasters that I have no idea. I find disgusting because I do not know where he is, he thinks he has.
fauna
In the urban jungle, do you approach a black man with a Rastafarian hat, hair, attitude looking trampish and say, "What is the best way to Pelham? "
My answer is simple. of course, you do not do.
cell phone in hand, you connect to and , but you feel even for human contact . Being part of your species really matters to you. After all, there must be someone who can understand you at the other end of the phone, right?
So where lies the future of our planet. you can not live on it, unless you talk to other people too.
messed it up
Hey mate. you've played your part, too!
So guys and girls, it is simple. Live your life as a member of your clan. Do not interact with anyone culture or different life, let alone a different world. Still we are then. Not now only, but forever!
Masters of the Universe
You do not know today what tomorrow brings.
This is the generally accepted wisdom. It is not productive to question everything. Thus, the planner you goes wrong in your head! something similar is it also happened in the past? As there are 550 million years?
But that was then. And this is now. Then there was a real climate change, a natural sequence of events. Now our climate change is largely man-potentially reversible. We use too much carbon and it is we get into trouble when it enters the upper atmosphere or our deep oceans. Both contribute to greenhouse warming our planet unnecessarily.
Our life support systems then become at risk sometimes. We humans are really mess up the world we live in. Why? Screw the pandas. Screw the great whales. We're really screwing up the world we live in. Or now?
Great question
Home.
What is home? More importantly, what do you need in your home exactly?
Interaction, sociable people. Certainly not the people attached to their mobile phone in public places.
rude? Not quite completely antisocial. If you want your world to survive, accept and embrace an alternative. What you or I have to offer is so small beer. But we have to offer - for the good of the planet; your planet, too, you know.

(iii) Survey of the British public about the validity of results.
(iv) one of the only very few exceptions to this is Britain. it has a statutory objective to reduce its carbon footprint by 80% in 2050. And it does more than most in this area. - Having reduced its carbon footprint by 25-26% in 2012 since 1990, the benchmark used
