Climate Change: 5 Minutes to Midnight, 15 Years and Counting Down
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a report showing that the effects of global warming have not yet become irreversible, but that they will in 15 years should action not be taken now on a global scale to cut green-house gas emissions. Research in the report also shows that reducing climate change is not only affordable, but is economically beneficial, claiming, "societies would likely be 5 percent poorer if nothing is done to protect the climate."
