The urgency of addressing global warming has never been clearer. When you turn on the news channels or radio you will probably see or hear of some form of climate change. Lately it’s been about deadly climate-driven disasters unfolding around the world, from flash floods in Europe, North America and Asia, to intense wildfires in Siberia, to widespread persistent heat waves and droughts that threaten to upend food supplies in the U.S., Middle East and much of Africa. Hmm… scary stuff and some people don’t want to talk about it? Well, the IPCC, Think Greener and many other people around the world are taking action!

The report will quantifying how much the earth’s temperature has increased and what is expected for humanity in the future due to climate change.
The new report will be the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate picture of the global climate ever released. The report will be a critical document for world leaders representing the international scientific consensus about human-caused climate change.
