The 10 truths of climate change.
face skepticism on global warming scientists who attended the II Convention on Climate Change and Sustainability held Albacete (Spain) on 10, 11 and February 12 wanted to create a decalogue about the realities of climate change, pathways and processes that must be taken.
1. The problem. Climate change is a process scientifically verified. "It is irresponsible and immoral to ignore the current situation and forecasts of future returns and their ecological, economic and social." At the meeting in Spain was considered that the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen meeting have put the cards on the table but the game has not begun.
2. The solution. Sustainability is strategic response to climate change. For development is necessary to establish monitoring and control mechanisms based on objective and verifiable indicators. Providing a basis for working together and where there is no room to misinterpret the data studies.
3. Actors. Developed countries must lead the development paradigm shift towards a new green revolution, implementing a low carbon economy in order to show that the poorest countries can develop in the context of a low-CO2 emissions and more socially just .
4. Costs. is inevitable and necessary to address a fiscal reform comprehensive assessment that includes the emissions of greenhouse gases. Emitting carbon costs money and facing the markets to react. These issues must be addressed in the legislation on sustainable economy of the European Union.

5. Objectives. support the development of sustainable agricultural production systems, maintenance of biodiversity and increasing the forest area, based on appropriate financial instruments is a prerequisite for basic goals of adaptation and mitigation to climate change, using the implementation of information technology and communication for rural sustainability.
6. Support. All political actors present in the Convention, expressed their commitment to transfer the government of Spain. It is vital to create a specific group of inter-regional work on climate change within the Preparatory Commission of the European Council of Ministers of the Environment, which raises agreements and common positions. Is the Community of Castilla-La Mancha responsible for initiating the process.
7. Bases. Renewable energy is the basis of the global strategy for climate change mitigation. It is necessary to design a new energy model that necessarily goes through a new regulatory framework, agreed and stable, and the need for system-wide interconnection of energy networks in Europe. We must move forward in research, development and innovation to convert to renewable energy in a competitive option. The fact that the Solar Decathlon competition come to Spain, demonstrates the leadership of our country in solar energy.
8. Act locally. The change is global but the solutions should be not only global but also local. The citizen awareness and involvement is central in the move towards a new model of sustainable development and the fight against climate change and its impact on the oceans and seas.
9. Both scientists and legislators must convey to society a message of concern about climate change risks, but also of hope. We have the tools and the will.

10. The media must operate with extreme objectivity and rigor, and that negotiations on climate change, the truth behind the misinformation.
