WOW!!! Prince Charles gave us 100 months...now Brown says 50 days! :blueeek:
That's December 8th, if my calculations are correct. What happens if there's no agreement by then? Does the destruction begin on December 9th?
Time to stock up on food and ammo and head for the hills...:eek:

PM warns of climate 'catastrophe'
Brown: '50 days to save world'
The UK faces a "catastrophe" of floods, droughts and killer heatwaves if world leaders fail to agree a deal on climate change, the prime minister has warned.
Gordon Brown said negotiators had 50 days to save the world from global warming and break the "impasse".
He told the Major Economies Forum in London, which brings together 17 of the world's biggest greenhouse gas-emitting countries, there was "no plan B".
World delegations meet in Copenhagen in December for talks on a new treaty.
The United Nations (UN) summit will aim to establish a deal to replace the 1997 Kyoto treaty as its targets for reducing emissions only apply to a small number of countries and expire in 2012.
Mr Brown warned that negotiators were not reaching agreement quickly enough and said it was a "profound moment" for the world involving "momentous choice".
