Climate Efforts Falling Short, U.N. Panel Says

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/14/science/earth/un-climate-panel-warns-speedier-action-is-needed-to-avert-disaster.html?ref=science&_r=0
A UN Panel recently released that governments are not doing enough to try and prevent climate change, even though there is a political will to do so.  There is still time to inhibit the effects of climate change, the longer we wait, the worse the effects of climate change will be.  The panel said that many countries have begun to enact climate change prevention plans, however these efforts still are not enough. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing almost twice as fast as they did in the 20th century.  If prevention plans aren't put in place, future generations will spend their whole lives trying to permanently remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and fix the mistakes of our generation.
