U.N. Climate Panel Warns Speedier Action Is Needed

It is no surprise that global warming is a problem, but we are now starting to find that it is a more pressing problem than we thought.  According to this article, there was a study done saying that if we do not start taking aggressive action against climate change, it will become extremely expensive, and almost impossible, to take action against it in the future.  Fortunately, we are finding that the world leaders are more supportive of environmental preservation than they have been in the past, so the likelihood of action being taken is higher, although, at this point, it is still not high enough.  Developing countries are using coal plants at an alarming rate, while wealthier, more developed nations are making adjustments to fight climate change more slowly.
