panel on climate change was more than some people could take today. the report by a group of scientists paints a dire picture. it s desperate, in fact, and it s beyond urgent. as the authors put it, avoiding widespread damage would require transforming the global economy on a scale that has no documented historic precedent. the report says plainly, if greenhouse gasses continue at this pace, coastlines will be inundated, drought and poverty will intensify, all of which you may have heard before as part of other studies, other reports, but here s the headline on this one we ll let the new york times tell it. major climate report describes a strong risk of crisis as early as 2040. think about that. that puts it within the lifetime of most of those living on this planet today. to avert it, greenhouse gas pollution would have to be reduced by almost half immediately. in all the countries of the world. on the threat of coastal flooding alone, we re now on a list along with bangladesh, c
