The era of climate change 'denial' is over: Politicians who flatly reject climate science are now being replaced by climate policy sceptics

350.org, the US-based environmental campaign group which aims to build a "global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis", has launched a new petition. It wants it supporters to urge the World Meteorological Organization to name hurricanes after "deniers and obstructionists".

‘The Critical Decade 2013: Climate Change Science, Risks and Responses’

Steffen, W. & L. Hughes, 2013, Two years ago in its report The Critical Decade: Climate science, risks and responses, the Climate Commission stated that this decade, 2011-2020, is the decade to decisively begin the journey to decarbonise our economy, thereby reducing the risks posed by climate change. One quarter of the way through the Critical Decade, many consequences of climate change are already evident, and the risks of further climate change are better understood. To meet the widely accepted policy goal of limiting climate change to a temperature rise of no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, global society must virtually decarbonise in the next 30-35 years. This means that most of the fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground.
