Wait a minute! Al Gore said we had 10 years to save the world and that was last year. We should have 9 years left NOT five. :scratch:
Notice they say there's still time to save the world? We only have 5 years now but there's still time. But we...er...you have to act NOW!!! It's all your fault America, you caused all this.

'Five years to save Earth'
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 World leaders have just five years to save the planet from a climate change disaster - but it can be done, according to a new report.
The document, Climate Solutions: WWF's Vision For 2050, shows that the world can produce more than enough sustainable energy to curb climate change, but only if key decisions are made by 2012.
The report goes beyond the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent conclusions that the world could successfully use new technologies to limit carbon emissions enough to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, and shows how this can be done using only sustainable, environmentally friendly energy sources.
"Climate Solutions" also shows that the necessary cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved without resorting to the nuclear option.
The World Wildlife Fund said the finding is in stark contrast to the UK Government's insistence - expected to be confirmed in the forthcoming Energy White Paper - that new nuclear power stations are needed to meet its own less ambitious emission reduction targets.
James Leape, WWF International's Director General said: "The world has never been more aware of climate change, or the urgent need to slow its advance.
"The question for leaders and governments everywhere is how to rein in dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide emissions without stunting development and reducing living standards.
