[font size=3]WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The "silver lining" to a U.N. report on climate change is that deploying more renewable energy is affordable, the executive director of the Sierra Club said.

A weekend report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found emissions of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, from the combustion of fossil fuels accounted for 78 percent of the total emissions increase from 1970 to 2010.

Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, says the IPCC is clear that the global addiction to "dirty fossil fuels" is having global consequences.

"The silver lining to the report is that it recognizes clean energy climate solutions are affordable and ready to deploy," he said in a statement Sunday.

1. Sorry, but if you're in the middle class, buying new green cars and converting your house to Solar

is not "affordable."

I can't pay for it, even with subsidies.

It's called the "tragedy of the commons" and 200 million Americans are caught in this reality.
