United Nations official: World is on 'not on track' over climate change
Description: International leaders are failing in their fight against global warming, one of the United Nations' top climate officials said Tuesday, appealing directly to the world's voters to pressure their politicians into taking tougher action against the buildup of greenhouse gases. Halldor Thorgeirsson told journalists gathered at London's Imperial College that world leaders weren't working hard enough to prevent potentially catastrophic climate change. "We are failing as an international community," he said. "We are not on track." [Source: Windsor Star]
