At current levels, unless we contain global warming under 2°C, by 2050 one third of all animal species will be at risk of extinction and two billion people will be left without drinking water. The good news is that in 2009 we can do something about it. On December the 11th 2009 Europe?s leaders are meeting to decide on the post Kyoto enviromental policy. There can only be one outcome - a genuine and unanimous commitment to a reduction of 30% in CO2 emissions by 2020. Otherwise there?ll only be one outcome for humanity and all the other animals species on earth: extinction.
