Climate Wars

The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change Predicts That The Average Global Temperature Will Rise Between 2 Degrees And 6.4 Degrees Celsius By The End Of This Century. These Are Conservative Estimates, Based On A Lowest-common-denominator Consensus Among Scientists And Further Watered Down By Governments. They Make No Allowance For Feedback Phenomena And Potential Runaway Heating. But A World Bank Study In India Last Year Suggested That Even 2 Degrees Hotter Means A 25 Percent Cut In Indian Food Production. The Core Problem With Climate Changes Is Not Sea Level Rise Or Bio-diversity; It Is Food Supply.--provided By Publisher.
