The Working Group II contribution to the “Climate Change 2007” Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) … all » presented to the press in Brussels on 6 April 2007.

The report assesses the latest scientific, environmental and socio-economic literature on “Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability”. It provides a comprehensive analysis of how climate change is affecting natural and human systems, what the impacts will be in the future and how far adaptation and mitigation can reduce these impacts. The report also contains chapters on specific systems, sectors and regions.

This is an hour long video of the IPCC part two report. Stark, sobering, and terrifying.

There is a global catastrophe going on right now, and its up to all of us to do something about it. I will be posting several more things about this report over the next couple days.
