LONDON

The threat posed by climate change may be greater than previously thought, and global warming is advancing at an unsustainable rate, Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a report published Monday.

The government-commissioned report collates evidence presented at a conference on climate change hosted by Britain's Meteorological Office last year. It says scientists now have "greater clarity and reduced uncertainty" about the impacts of climate change.

In a foreword, Blair said it was clear that "the risks of climate change may well be greater than we thought."
"It is now plain that the emission of greenhouse gases, associated with industrialization and economic growth from a world population that has increased six-fold in 200 years, is causing global warming at a rate that is unsustainable," he wrote.

He's right. Global warming has caused Russia to the coldest it's been in decades. It's also caused Europe to be very cold this year and it's caused the Northwest to have more rain and snow than in most years. By gosh, global warming is just making winter seem cold and summer seem hot. What are we to do?

He's right. Global warming is advancing. However, the warming is nothing more than the natural recovery from the 500-year Little Ice Age. There is nothing that we can do to stop it, so we should just sit back and enjoy it.
