Latest IPCC report calls for world social revolution, says author

The report, issued May 4 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said both developed and developing countries must cut greenhouse-gas emissions and shift away from oil to non-polluting energy sources.

IPCC-report author and Tufts University professor William Moomaw told The New York Times recently “we’re looking for an energy revolution that’s as comprehensive as the one that occurred at the beginning of the 20th Century.”
