World Bank president gets urgent on climate change

The World Bank president Jim Yong Kim wrote an editorial in the Washington Post (and probably appearing elsewhere) in which he well expressed the urgency of climate change - and the need for the world to get to work on addressing it seriously NOW.

Make climate change a priority

"As economic leaders gathered in Davos this week for the World Economic Forum, much of the conversation was about finances. But climate change should also be at the top of our agendas, because global warming imperils all of the development gains we have made.

If there is no action soon, the future will become bleak. The World Bank Group released a report in November that concluded that the world could warm by 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) by the end of this century if concerted action is not taken now"

The report is pretty good.  The news it conveys is not.

Damn the skeptics, full speed ahead.  (There are 1,227 comments on this editorial.  I didn't bother reading them.)
