The Guardian: A United Nations report raised the threat of climate change to a whole new level on Monday, warning of sweeping consequences to life and livelihood....“We are now in an era where climate change isn't some kind of future hypothetical,” said Chris Field, one of the two main authors of the report.
New York Times: Climate change is already having sweeping effects on every continent and throughout the world’s oceans, scientists reported on Monday, and they warned that the problem was likely to grow substantially worse unless greenhouse emissions are brought under control.
BBC: The costs of inaction on climate
change will be "catastrophic", according to US Secretary of State John
Kerry. Mr Kerry was responding to a major report by the UN which described the
impacts of global warming as "severe, pervasive and irreversible". He said dramatic and swift action was required to tackle the threats posed by
a rapidly changing climate.
This Real Climate link itself links to the actual summary and full UN panel report.
An NPR report offers both a print and audio summary of the UN report findings.
Another NPR piece asks if the report is "too much of a downer," which is the opinion of one of it's authors, who didn't sign the summary.
