U.N. climate report will shock the world
A forthcoming U.N. report on climate change will provide the most credible evidence yet of a human link to global warming and hopefully shock the world into taking more action, the panel's chairman said on Thursday.
The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), due for release on Feb. 2 in Paris, draws on research by 2,500 scientists from more than 130 countries and has taken six years to compile.
"There are a lot of signs and evidence in this report which clearly establish not only the fact that climate change is taking place, but also that it really is human activity that is influencing that change," R.K. Pachauri, the IPCC chairman, told Reuters.

That report should raise a lot of eyebrows and hopefully put to rest all these irresponsible ideas that sabotage our progress towards reducing the risks of climate change.
Solomon and others wouldn't go into specifics about what the report says. They said that the 12-page summary for policymakers will be edited in secret word-by-word by governments officials for several days next week and released to the public on Feb. 2. The rest of that first report from scientists will come out months later.
The full report will be issued in four phases over the year, as was the case with the last IPCC report, issued in 2001.

even if this report conclusively shows that major countries (well, humans in general) are responsible for global warming, how will the un force countries to do anything about it
the un is a huge bureaucracy that is all about paperwork and that's it
it cannot force peoples to anything about the problem, although it can give great advice...

This is the UN's big chance to impose a global tax. Hello NWO.

and how will that help the problem of global warming

Thats what the Kyoto Accord ia all about. Once the UN has global taxation in its pocket the next step is global legislation. Viola! Global government.
I'm very glad to see people talking about this event and taking it seriously. As I've stated in numerous posts in the Fragile Earth Forum....Too many people worry themselves into near hysteria over global warming, but seem completely disinterested in solar activity, planetary impact events, extra-solar activity (gamma ray burst's and super novae), or extreme seismic or volcanic activity. These phenomena are either poorly understood, very fast acting, and/or unpredictable.
Global warming is a natural process as evidenced by the geologic record showing numerous warming and cooling cycles of the planet. It's very slow acting, and thus predictable and capable of being addressed by adaptation.
To all those folks who seem to thrive on worrying about doomsday...I recommend focusing on the sun, comets, nearby stars, or the earths core, mantle, and tectonic plates.

your quite the conspiracy theorist
but, i will stick to the belief that global warming does exists and that the un does want to help

The astounding figure represents a loss of $4,700 on every vehicle sold. Apparently, people recognize that climate change is real and greenhouse gases impact the environment. Ford's survival strategy focuses on marketing a "a stronger lineup of smaller vehicles that offer better gasoline mileage."

Time is running out. Already the largest extinction that we've ever known about is underway.
Soon there won't be any more polar bears or penguins, they are rapidly dying out.

Show proof please...also don't forget that 99.9999% of ALL species that EVER existed on earth are now extinct.
"We are in the midst of the sixth great extinction wave on the planet Earth, caused by the intervention of humans," David Brackett, Species Survival Commission Chair of the study, told The Scientist. "Species should come and go on an evolutionary time scale, not on our time scale." Brackett said that "objective information is showing that declines are not limited to vulnerable species, but are happening across the entire taxonomic spectrum.""

Alarmist panic. Please present scientific, or even anecdotal evidence that polars and penquins are rapidly dying out and that there will "soon" be no more.
Polar bears threatened: Climate change could lead to extinction of the arctic animals
A few years ago, researchers documenting the disappearance of Arctic sea ice noticed an unusual number of polar bears floating in the water, drowned.
Normally, the bears travel over ice as they hunt seals, their main prey. But with so little sea ice left, bears are forced to swim great distances from one ice platform to another.
Some have attempted to paddle more than 60 miles, which is too much even for the polar bear's strong swimming ability.
Emperors are not considered endangered, but other species of penguins are endangered or threatened. The causes include human encroachment, climate change and over-fishing, said Tom Schneider, curator of birds at the Detroit Zoo.

Disinformation and distraction.

Niether, I think
But perhaps I should have said, almost every species that ever existed is now extinct.
