The ICPP Representative from the low-lying Marshall Islands, called the world's failure to address global warming a "genocide" of his people. There are 4.5 million people living in low-lying nations that could completely sink beneath the sea.

If we continue on our current track, global grain yields could be cut in half (just as our growing population needs to produce more food) and the global economy would be 30% smaller than it otherwise would be at a cost of $54 Trillion.

Some of these changes are unavoidable but we can mitigate the worst effects if we take the problem seriously and make the necessary changes NOW. We know what we need to do, the question is do we have the political will to do it.
