UN report on ‘global warming’ carries life-or-death warning… Suggests $240 Per Gallon Gas Tax

UN report on global warming carries life-or-death warning
WASHINGTON (AP) — Preventing an extra single degree of heat could make a life-or-death difference in the next few decades for multitudes of people and ecosystems on this fast-warming planet, an international panel of scientists reported Sunday. But they provide little hope the world will rise to the challenge.
The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its gloomy report at a meeting in Incheon, South Korea.
In the 728-page document, the U.N. organization detailed how Earth’s weather, health and ecosystems would be in better shape if the world’s leaders could somehow limit future human-caused warming to just 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit (a half degree Celsius) from now, instead of the globally agreed-upon goal of 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C).

Among other things:
— Half as many people would suffer from lack of water.
— There would be fewer deaths and illnesses from heat, smog and infectious diseases.
— Seas would rise nearly 4 inches (0.1 meters) less.
— Half as many animals with back bones and plants would lose the majority of their habitats.

I heard that the 15 largest cargo ships produce more pollution than all the cars in the world.

I heard that the 15 largest cargo ships produce more pollution than all the cars in the world.

Here's a link to an article in Quora with some relevant data in it:

Leave it to journalists to spin it in any way they can attract more readers.
