In a striking declaration that the world is finally ready to change its polluted ways, global leaders gathered at the United Nations headquarters here to sign the landmark Paris climate accord, an agreement that’s seen as the blueprint for rescuing the planet.
The question is whether the plan will work.
Year after year, decade after decade, the planet has been getting warmer. This March was the warmest in recorded history. Scientists say the future will be filled with food shortages, drought, rising seas and extreme weather if bold action is not taken quickly.
“We are in a race against time,†said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

15. Yes, the man who came home to protest a war won my
heart but this man who is concerned about the future and peace has given us hope. He is not a war monger his interests lay in protecting our planet for everyone.

6. Shudder.
All Democratic hands on deck for 2016. We HAVE to keep the White House.
Whatever your thoughts about the eventual Democratic nominee: think SCOTUS and climate change, SCOTUS and climate change.
The Enviros and other Prog-Luddites pulled their Chicken Little stunt in the 70s, again in the 80s (Acid Rain + Ozone Hole), and now, again, withGlobal Worming and the GMO-FrankenFood-Scare. I bought Version 1.0, briefly, but as for subsequent versions:

I got snowed on three different times yesterday in a three hour drive across Germany. Bavaria is forecast to get snow all this week.
Remind me again about the "warmest March on record"?
We (the planet) hasn't warmed in 20 years....the only place the temperature seems to increase is in the computers if the IPCC.
Scientists say the future will be filled with food shortages, drought, rising seas and extreme weather if bold action is not taken quickly.I can see the 1st two being caused by man but only in countries with planned economies (China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc...)
