How Doomed Are We?
WGBH News
Published on May 7, 2019
A troubling new United Nations report foreshadows mass extinctions if humans fail to take major action on climate change in the next few years. One million of the planet’s eight million species are threatened – which could have devastating consequences for the rest of us. What can, and at whshould the United States be doing to make changes? In for Jim Braude, Adam Reilly was joined by David Cash, dean of UMass Boston’s School of Policy and Global Studies and former Massachusetts commissioner of the department of environmental protections; and Anthony Janetos, director of the Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer Range Future and chair of the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.

Climate change may have already done enough damage to the earth that whatever we do now to stop it, may be too little, according to Guy McPherson.
Do you think he is right?
Is there time to fix the damaging climate change effects or has the Artic melted too much for us to stop it?

“If we are to stay below 1,5 °C global warming, emissions have to peak no later than 2020. That is less than 800 days from now. Emissions must also be cut by half by 2030, and to zero by 2050. We need an immediate emergency response by policymakers, businesses and civil society, aimed at an unprecedented transformation of all sectors of society. The Club of Rome’s Climate Emergency Plan, presented by Anders Wijkman, outlines an immediate course of action for policymakers. This will be the point of departure for a solutions-oriented seminar that advances the conversation on how to demand and create real change. We will learn about innovative technical platforms, the transition from conventional growth economics, how to successfully create political change and the growing power of youth movements.”

About The Climate Emergency Plan by Club of Rome
The Club of Rome’s The Climate Emergency Plan was officially launched on November 24th at the We Don’t Have Time seminar titled “The Climate Emergency Plan”.
It outlines an emergency response to the climate crisis. Drawing from the latest IPCC report and other sources, it proposes far-reaching measures to cut global emissions by half by 2030 and to zero by 2050. This requires an unprecedented transformation of all sectors of society, since no country has ever succeeded more than a 1.5 % reduction. These measures are not news, for as the plan says: “Excellent work has been undertaken by prestigious academic institutions, progressive governments, cutting edge corporations and civil society leaders to develop realistic transition strategies.” With an acute sense of urgency, the plan calls on stakeholders to implement these findings through collaborative climate action.
A sample of measures proposed by the plan:
* Halt fossil fuel expansion and fossil fuel subsidies by 2020
* Continue the doubling of wind and solar capacity every four years
* Introduce realistic pricing and taxation to reflect the true cost of
fossil fuel use
* Ensure greater materials efficiency and circularity by 2025
* Accelerate regenerative land use policies

The Club of Rome: Predictions
AStuff They Don’t Want You To Know – HowStuffWorksPublished on Aug 21, 2013
The Club of Rome didn’t stop analyzing global trends in 1972. In fact, they have been busy making “highly-educated guesses” ever since. But critics allege that the Club is up to a lot more than tracking trends – in fact, they’re building a world-wide government.
