Environment Colorado congratulates former Vice President Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on receiving this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. We also thank them for their years of work and public education about the dangers presented by Global Warming. Now is the time to act of their message. The best science tell us that we have to cut emissions to at least 1990 levels by 2020 and slash emissions by 80 percent by 2050. The good news is that we know what to do, and there several early action steps that the state can take now that will put us on the path to meet these goals. You can read the press release about this report at http://www.environmentcolorado.org/news-releases/global-warming/global-warming-news/groups-support-science-based-climate-protection-policies-for-2008
In their most recent report the IPCC (http://www.ipcc.ch/) established that human caused carbon emissions are responsible for Global Warming. Vice President Gore’s award-winning film An Inconvenient Truth focused attention on the problem.
