Climate Code Red Climate Code Red ~ Climate Code Red: the Case for a Sustainability Emergency, by David Spratt and Philip Sutton, logically, systematically and in straight-talking language presents the recent findings from the world’s eminent climate scientists of much faster than predicted global warming; stark evidence that we have a full-scale emergency and the greatest threat to life on Earth as we know it. ~ Clearly it would be madness to accept climate change policies which are compromised by vested interests and likely to lead to environmental collapse. We cannot accept failure as an option. ~ A free copy of the report can be downloaded here. A book version is being fast tracked onto the shelves by Scribe Publishers and should be available by July. ~ See this recently released joint climate scientist report led by NASA's James Hansen, Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/2008/TargetCO2_20080317.pdf
