[ ... balderdash ?!? ]
An American weather expert has told a water summit in Sydney that global warming is such an enormous problem the world needs to go on a war footing to fight it.
American Meteorological Society spokesman Tony Socci says the international community needs a reconstruction plan like the Marshall Plan, which was implemented to rebuild Europe after World War II.
He says people are not getting the message quickly enough.
"I'm not all that convinced that people understand the scale of this problem," he said.
"If we were to stabilise [the] climate today, we would have to cut our emissions by almost 70 per cent.
"Now that is a Marshall Plan kind of response to an issue. It's like building the atomic bomb."
