|a Past societies have reacted when they understood that their own
activities were causing deleterious environmental change by controlling
or modifying the offending activities. The scientific evidence has now
become overwhelming that human activities, especially the combustion
of fossil fuels, are influencing the climate in ways that threaten the
well-being and continued development of human society. If humanity
is to learn from history and to limit these threats, the time has come
for stronger control of the human activities that are changing the
fundamental conditions for life on Earth.
To decide on effective control measures, an understanding of how
human activities are changing the climate, and of the implications of
unchecked climate change, needs to be widespread among world and
national leaders, as well as in the public.
The purpose of this report is to provide, for a broad range of audiences,
an update of the newest understanding of climate change caused
by human activities, the social and environmental implications of
this change, and the options available for society to respond to the
challenges posed by climate change. |
