Harrowing New UN Report Finds Humans Are The ‘Unequivocal’ Cause Of Climate Change

The latest review of climate literature finds that the window to avert catastrophic warming with existing tools is rapidly closing.

A new United Nations report reaffirms what world governments have known and failed to deal with for decades: that climate change is our fault, is already causing devastation around the globe and will continue to get worse. How much worse is entirely up to us. The assessment from the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an up-to-date scientific understanding of planetary warming, as well as its current and future impacts. The international consortium of researchers left no room for debate over the cause of the global crisis.
