In light of this revelation, there is only one sensible course of action: PANIC!

World leaders have 50 days to save the Earth from irreversible global warming, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Monday.

Brown said climate catastrophe would occur if world leaders fail to agree on a climate protection deal at a major climate conference this December in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“If we do not reach a deal at this time, let us be in no doubt: Since once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no retrospective global agreement, in some future period, can undo that choice. By then it will be irretrievably too late,” Brown told the Major Economies Forum, a conference bringing together representatives from the world’s 17 biggest polluters in London.

Since some of the biggest polluters have no interest in deliberately crippling their own economies — i.e., China, India, Brazil — the chances of bureauweenies substantially reducing harmless CO2 emissions are close to nil. The chances of them affecting the weather in any way are exactly nil. Make the most of your last 50 days!
