World leaders have just five years to save the planet from a climate change disaster - but it can be done, according to a new report.

The document, Climate Solutions: WWF's Vision For 2050, shows that the world can produce more than enough sustainable energy to curb climate change, but only if key decisions are made by 2012. The report goes beyond the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent conclusions that the world could successfully use new technologies to limit carbon emissions enough to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, and shows how this can be done using only sustainable, environmentally friendly energy sources. "Climate Solutions" also shows that the necessary cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved without resorting to the nuclear option. The World Wildlife Fund said the finding is in stark contrast to the UK Government's insistence - expected to be confirmed in the forthcoming Energy White Paper - that new nuclear power stations are needed to meet its own less ambitious emission reduction targets.

James Leape, WWF International's Director General said: "The world has never been more aware of climate change, or the urgent need to slow its advance. "The question for leaders and governments everywhere is how to rein in dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide emissions without stunting development and reducing living standards. "The Climate Solutions report shows not only that this can be done, it shows how we can do it. "We have a small window of time in which we can plant the seeds of change, and that is the next five years. We cannot afford to waste them. "This is not something that governments can put off until the future. Governments in power now have a unique opportunity, a duty, to do something big for the future of the planet. If they fail, generations to come will have to live with the compromises and hardships caused by their inability to act."

2. "without stunting development and reducing living standards"

runaway climate change will do more to accomplish that then any solution we could dream up.

[reality based]

3. Meanwhile, impeachment is off the table. We can wait another two years.

4. yea, reign in those carbon dioxide emissions George!!

you POS.

[whistle]

5. Five years, really? That would put the point of no return at the year 2012

Who Is The 2012 Group? And What’s The Big Deal About 2012, Anyway?

Brooke Kenney and the late Thomas Wilson formed The 2012 Group in 1993. Since then, we’ve been gathering information regarding the amazing event coming on or around December 21, 2012.

For those of you who are not familiar with the significance of 2012, here’s a short explanation: The basis of this event lies in the Mayan calendar, in which time, as we understand it, comes to an end and a major shift occurs in human consciousness. Will this be the end of the world? Or, is it the beginning of a new world? Some believe that the shift will reveal the 4th dimension (time) or maybe the 5th dimension (unity with the unseen Spirit World/Heaven). My spirit guide, Dew has told of a time, near the end of time, when inanimate objects will come to life, including stones, and that our animals will speak to us, to prove God’s dominion on earth.

It is our intended goal to help everyone prepare for what could possibly be the greatest event modern man has ever experienced. It’s not intended to make an apocalyptic prediction (we don’t need more of those). It’s just something that has gotten our attention that has potentially significant meaning for all of humanity.
