VALENCIA, Spain - The United Nations’ top climate official on Monday warned scientists and government officials from some 130 countries that failure to act on climate change while there was time would be “criminally irresponsible.”
Addressing the U.N.’s climate panel, joint winners of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize along with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, said the message to world leaders was clear.
“Failure to recognize the urgency of this message and to act on it would be nothing less than criminally irresponsible,” said de Boer.
