The threat from global warming and climate change is increasingly recognised as the largest single peril facing the world at the present time. In December of this year 2009, the nations are meeting in Copenhagen to agree what action needs to be taken. Will they be able to agree? Will they be able set in train the necessary action with adequate urgency to avoid the worst of the damages to human communities (especially the world’s poorest that will be hit the hardest) and to the non human creation? Because this Copenhagen conference and its preparation are so critical, this year 2009 has been described by Tom Burke and many others concerned with the problem as the most important year ever in world history.
