World Heading For 6 Degree Temp Rise

Scientist's worst fears appear to becoming reality, as leading scientist's reveal that the planet is heading for a 6 degree Celsius rise by the end of the century. Such a rise, caused by positive feedback mechanisms as higher levels of greenhouse gases and CO2 trap more heat in, would cause a cataclysmic for all life on planet Earth.

Study Reveals Meat Causes half of all Greenhouse Gases

A new study reveals that emissions caused by raising livestock are actually 51% not 18% as previously thought. This means that by reducing the amount of meat we all eat, could have a greater effect on global warming than trying to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources!

Climate Chaos by 2020...?

Scientists predict climate chaos as early as 2020 if greenhouse gas/co2levels continue to rise. Currently CO2 levels stand at 385 ppm (parts per million) and are rising at around 1.5 ppm each year. World temps have already increased by 0.74 C since pre industrial times.... CO2 levels at 400 ppm, will it is believed push temps upto 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, at which point dangerous climate consequences may occur...time is running out..
