brussels, belgium - global warming is making life more dangerous for people across europe and even starting to hurt businesses, necessitating urgent action from the european union, the wwf environmental group said tuesday.
"the citizens expect to see real action from the eu because climate change is already a reality in their daily life," said stephan singer, head of wwf international's climate change unit.
"snow disappearing in scotland, fewer bees in italy, crop losses in spain, forests on the decline in germany and sea levels rising off the coast of england are dangerous signs of climate change in europe," wwf international said, saying the changes hurt the livelihoods of laborers, like foresters and farmers, whose work depends on nature's predictability.
eu environment commissioner dimas said the eu has set up a program to meet its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8 percent by 2012, and he wants to use the montreal meeting to discuss an international global warming program that would extend beyond that year.
