[pp.int.general] Global heating: 2 degrees of heating is 16 years away

[Richard Stallman]

says that we are on track to burn enough CO2 to cause 2 degrees of
global heating in just 16 years.  It also reports that 2 degrees may
be too much to be safe.

reports on positive feedback in the Arctic that causes even more
global heating.

I suggest that the Pirate Parties strongly address this imminent
threat to civilization's survival, in addition to the issues that were
their original concern.
