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

[Antonio Garcia]

Gijs,

I suppose that with the Germans an the Suedes broadening their programs to connect with a broader public, and some projects that are in the pipes... you are bound to pull the shortest straw.

But you are free to suggest whatever.

Dear Richard,

The whole global warming thing is at least dubious. Temperatures in Europe have been higher than they are now, and there are still humans living here. "this imminent
threat to civilization's survival" might be overstating things a bit...

I suggest that we stick to our core issues.

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.
