Yesterday, the long awaited report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released. Named "Climate Change 2007", the report was produced by over 600 scientists from 40 different countries, and reviewed by 620 experts from around the world. The report, approved by 113 countries including the U.S., states that there is clear and "unequivocal" scientific evidence that global warming is real and is very likely caused by human activity. The impact of this climate change such as severe heat waves and storms, droughts, and floods could possibly last for centuries.
