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!

Six years left for GHGas emissions to peak, or World faces ruin
Unless emissions of Greenhouse gases peak by 2015 and then start to drop, it may not be possible to prevent a greater than 2 degrees Celsius rise in temperature creating unmanageable climate risks, top scientists warn... watch video.

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..
