adminWARSAW. — Nations launched a new round of talks in Warsaw yesterday to pave the way for a 2015 deal to cut climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions. The 12-day United Nations Climate Change Conference comes amid a slew of warnings about potentially disastrous warming unless humankind changes its atmosphere-polluting, fossil-fuel-burning ways.
The UN has set a target of limiting warming to two degrees Celsius over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.
The world seeks to reach that goal by curbing emissions of invisible, heat-trapping gases from burning fossil fuels which provide the backbone of the world’s energy supply today. — AFP.
