Bangkok meet to save planet from global warming MIL/Agencies, Apr 30, 2007. Bangkok, April 30, 2007 - The world's leading climate change experts assembled in Bangkok on Monday to consider how to save the planet from the worst effects of the global warming from the lower greenhouse gas emissions. At least 400 experts from about 120 countries are likely to attend the third session of the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN's leading authority on global warming. Two reports issued earlier this year said the earth was already warming and predicted severe consequences including drought, flooding, violent storms and increased hunger and disease. The third report -- the last installment of the IPCC's biggest investigation in six years -- will lay out ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent a climate catastrophe without seriously impacting on the global economy. An early draft suggests that world leaders have little time to waste, but that the tools for reducing emissions already exist, with renewable energy, nuclear power, bio-fuels and reforestation all in the basket. But as wary governments lock horns on key issues, much of the draft will end up on the cutting room floor. "It's likely to be completely rewritten," said Michael Williams, spokesman for the United Nations Environment Program. "It's quite natural that (when) you have 120 people looking at a text that other people have written, they are going to go through it and try and put it into their own language," he added
