OIL SPILL, GULF OF MEXICO, 2010

Sequ. STI – Environment – S. Sabatini - Docs
Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through
a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency.
Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, our prosperity and
security. The dangers have become apparent for a generation. Now the facts have started to
speak: 11 of the past 14 years have been the warmest on record, the Arctic ice-cap is melting and last
year's inflamed oil and food prices provide a foretaste of future havoc*. In scientific journals, the
question is no longer whether humans are to blame, but how little time we have got left to limit the
damage. Yet so far the world's response has been feeble and half-hearted*.
Climate change has been caused for centuries, has consequences that will endure for all time and our
prospects of taming* it will be determined in the next 14 days. We call on the representatives of the
192 countries gathered in Copenhagen not to hesitate, not to fall into dispute, not to blame each other
but to seize opportunity from the greatest modern failure of politics. This should not be a fight between
the rich world and the poor world, or between east and west. Climate change affects everyone, and
must be solved by everyone.
