G8 agree 80% CO2 emission cuts

The G8 Countries have agreed to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050 and for India and China to cut their emissions by 50% in an effort to keep temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial, a figure which may cause dangerous climate change.... is it too late though..?

Scientists now able to link carbon emissions directly to global warming. To limit warming to a 2 degree Celsius rise above pre-industrial, carbon emissions must be limited from now until forever to half a trillion tonnes of carbon, about the amount emitted since the start of the industrial revolution until now..

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..

The Sun and Global Warming

The Sun should be coming out of it's cooler period within it's current 11 year solar cycle. During 11 year solar cycles the Sun goes through it's solar maximum and solar minimum periods (increased and decreased levels of solar activity). Scientists are baffled however, as the Sun doesn't appear to be getting warmer at present, when all predictions indicated that it should be. The last solar maximum was between 2000-2002( cycle 23 ). 2005 however, was still the warmest recorded year since the 1880's according to NASA.
