United Nations Panel Warns of 'Irreversible' Effects from Climate Change

A new report from a United Nations Panel says increased warming of the earth will continue, if industrialized nations like the United States don't take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The report finds it's more certain than before that humans are the cause for increased temperatures world wide.

The authors wrote climate change is close to creating a severe impact on us, that if not fixed in a few decades, we will not be able to reverse.
It offered solutions, including reducing emissions from fossil fuels, like oil and coal.
