Global Warming Panel Issues Warning

A U.N.-backed panel of international scientists is to warn that dangerous gas emissions must decline by 2020 if global warming is to be halted, German media reported Friday.
But the final part of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change insists that cutting carbon dioxide emissions alone is not enough.
It urges industry and business leaders to invest $16 billion in the renewable energy sector and calls on auto makers to start producing smaller, more energy-efficient cars, according to the the online edition of Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
Der Spiegel Online also carried advance findings of the report, not due to be released until May.
Last month in Paris, in a major announcement on climate change, the group issued the first part of its findings, warning that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal," the cause is "very likely" man-made, and the menace will "continue for centuries."story continued
