As Christians we have the mandate/ responsibility for our environment. Thus, when statement like 'we need to clean up our environment,' ' we are polluting our environment and need IPCC = UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.' According to IPCC 2007 report, the coming century if CO2 emissions continue without being restrain, the Earth's temperature would likely rise between 1.8 to 4 C and may even hit 6C which would be disastrous. According to their latest scientific research the emissions are rising so fast that the Earth is firmly on track to hit 6C if action is not taken according to Dr Pachauri the Nobel-Prize winning head of IPCC.
Dr. Pachauri listed some of the consequences of global warming i.e floods, increases in tropical syslone intensity, more extinctions of wild species and more melting of the Greenland ice sheet causing sea levels to rise aroung the world by more than 20 feet.

In my next blog I highlight what this Global warming really is all about. In the meantime it is of interest to note the 'Climategate scandal' and Dr. Rajendra Pachauri the head of IPCC stand to gain several hundred million dollars in European Union carbon credits in emission deals.
