World has five years to avoid severe warming: IEA

In their desperation to convince the world that humanity is destroying the planet by burning carbon fuels, gas and oil, the IEA has upped the anti.

Just a couple of years ago we were being told that we had until something like 2030 before we reached the point of 'no return.' Now the scream is only 5 years away before the global warming destruction of the world by mankind.

The world has just five years to avoid being trapped in a scenario of perilous climate change and extreme weather events, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned on Wednesday.

On current trends, "rising fossil energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climate change," the IEA concluded in its annual World Energy Outlook report.

"The door to 2.0 C is closing," it said, referring to the 2.0 Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) cap on global warming widely accepted by scientists and governments as the ceiling for averting unmanageable climate damage.

Without further action, by 2017 the total CO2 emissions compatible with the 2.0 C goal will be "locked in" by power plants, factories and other carbon-emitting sources either built or planned, the IEA said.

Global infrastructure already accounts for more than 75 percent of that limit.

To meet energy needs while still averting climate catastrophe, governments must engineer a shift away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels, the agency said bluntly.

The report "shows that the world is heading for a fossil-fuel lock-in. This is another urgent call to move to a low-carbon economy," she said in a statement.

Setting a global price on carbon, slashing fossil fuel subsidies, boosting renewable energy and energy efficiency and revised tax codes are all tools for achieving that end, she added.

As you can see by the last 2 little paragraphs, the goal of the alarmists is simply a total control of the world's economy ... and a drastic reduction of the world's peoples life styles.

Governing bodies know best of course what is best for us all.

And in the process of their hysteria, Yahweh is making them fools by lowering the earth's temperatures.

Prepare for a very cold winter friends.
