Climate change: 12 years to save the planet? Make that 18 months
By Matt McGrath
Environment correspondent

23 July 2019 Science & Environment

Do you remember the good old days when we had "12 years to save the planet"?

Now it seems, there's a growing consensus that the next 18 months will be critical in dealing with the global heating crisis, among other environmental challenges.

Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that to keep the rise in global temperatures below 1.5C this century , emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut by 45% by 2030.

But today, observers recognise that the decisive, political steps to enable the cuts in carbon to take place will have to happen before the end of next year.

The idea that 2020 is a firm deadline was eloquently addressed by one of the world's top climate scientists, speaking back in 2017.

WOW! Just in time for the elections, what a coincidence.
 I think they're in a hurry to get this fake news out before the truth gets out.

Maybe we should post some YT vids with all those dire predictions about what was supposed to have been underwater 10-15 years ago, but is still high & dry?  I can't do it, I don't even like typing algores name in the computer, much less looking at his face or hearing his voice.  Although, we wouldn't have this wonderful website if he hadn't invented the interwebz.

Well he was good for the internet thingie.  That makes 2 things he's good for.  The first being nothing.
