Greenhouse gas levels 'far worse than predicted'

Just to confirm the story below, here is a news item from the ABC discussing the dire situation we are facing. I'm sure this data will be ignored as well. I can't believe people are so deaf to the warnings. Such stupid creatures we humans are.

Conservation scientist and Australian of the Year Tim Flannery has warned that huge industrial and economic changes need to be implemented quickly to slow the growth of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

He says the actual levels of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere are far beyond what has previously been modelled by climate scientists.

"What the report establishes is that the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is already above the threshold that could potentially cause dangerous climate change," he said.

"So if I was trying to summarise it, what it says is that we already stand an unacceptable risk of dangerous climate change and that the need for action is ever more urgent."
