The AAAS said: โ€œThe atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, a critical greenhouse gas, is higher than it has been for at least 650,000 years. The average temperature of the Earth is heading for levels not experienced for millions of years.โ€

It also called for โ€œrapidly reducing greenhouse-gas emissions,โ€ and echoed the report by British economist Nicholas Stern saying to delay โ€œwill increase the environmental and societal consequences as well as the costs.โ€ In a 700-page report last October, Stern said countries can cut emissions without damaging economic growth and, in some cases, actually improve theirย growth.

Stern, in Toronto this week to present his argument that environmental stewardship need not mean a stagnant economy, said โ€œThe costs of actionโ€ฆ are much less than the costs ofย inaction.โ€
