Just today, Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Nobel Prize winner said:

The effects of climate change are being felt already… Climate change will hit hardest the poorest and most vulnerable countries. Its overall effect, however, will be felt by everyone and will in some cases threaten people’s very survival.

Failing to recognize the urgency of this message and acting on it would be nothing less than criminally irresponsible.
