From today's press release from the Nairobi United Nations Climate Change Conference:
Nairobi United Nations Climate Change Conference opens with warning that climate change may be most serious threat ever to face humankind.

(6 November 2006) - The United Nations Climate Change Conference - Nairobi 2006 got underway today with calls for action and a stark warning that climate change is fast proving to be one of the greatest challenges in the history of humankind.

"Climate change is rapidly emerging as one of the most serious threats that humanity may ever face," said the President of the conference, Kenyan Environment Minister Kivutha Kibwana.

Is this dramatising ?  Statements to show how 'important '  all this gatherings are?

The Stern-report sounds like a US-TV show ?

This may be so....

Maybe we are just frogs in heating water....

Of course there is an element of over-dramatising in a struggle to get into a public limelight. But it has gotten to the point of parody. BTW, regarding the press release and the statements therein I find them overall extremely well balanced, in my opinion.
