Bad news for Republicans: IPCC report warns 'irreversible' climate extremes

Examiner: Republicans won't be happy about the leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) draft report on Monday, because it contains the most dire predictions about climate change to date, which is something they don't believe exists. The report is shocking in its bluntness, because it warns human-induced climate change may have already reached the tipping point and be past the point of no return and "irreversible". The IPCC report is the 4th installment of the 5th periodic climate progress...
Global Warming Causing 'Irreversible Damage': UN Report

Nature World: Global warming is here, and "severe, widespread and irreversible" damage may be inevitable unless faster action is taken to reduce fossil fuel emissions, a newly leaked UN report has warned. The 127-page report states that further pollution - caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas - will contribute to problems like rising sea levels and extreme weather, such as heat waves, flooding and droughts. "Without additional mitigation, and even with adaptation, warming by the...

UN warns irreversible change in draft climate report

Hill: Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing dramatically and will wreak havoc on the climate in the near future, the United Nations said in a draft report. The U.N.s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts if emissions continue to grow at a similar pace to recent years. The conclusions are in a draft report obtained by The New York Times. In a similar fashion to other recent U.N. reports about the climate, the most recent draft says...

Climate Change Impacts Already Inevitable, May Soon Be Irreversible

Newsweek: The effects of climate change will be severe, pervasive and irreversible within the next few decades if countries burn more than just one-quarter of the fossil fuel reserves already found, according to a major new U.N. draft report. Already, failure to heed earlier scientific advice regarding fossil fuel emissions have made large-scale climatic shifts inevitable, but a significant reduction of emissions now could still slow these changes, and buy the human race some time to adapt to an altered...

Global warming risks being irreversible, draft UN report says

Associated Press: Global warming is here, human-caused and probably already dangerous - and it's increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible, a draft of a new international science report says. The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday sent governments a final draft of its synthesis report, which combines three earlier, gigantic documents by the Nobel Prize-winning group. There is little in the report that wasn't in the other more-detailed versions, but the language...
