Next Three Years Will Decide Fate of Our Planet's Climate, Experts Warn

By Andy Rowell

Never has the paradox been greater. While the most powerful politician in the world is a climate denier, scientists are now warning that we have just three years to start making radical reductions to greenhouse gases.
