IPCC Summary Report, 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change –The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the leading body for the assessment of climate change, established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) United Nations Environment ProgrammeWorld Meteorological Organization –The IPCC is a scientific body. It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change... Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis. –Because of its scientific and intergovernmental nature, the IPCC embodies a unique opportunity to provide rigorous and balanced scientific information to decision makers.

United Nations Science Compendium 2009 “The climate forcing arriving sooner-than- expected includes faster sea-level rise, ocean acidification, melting of Arctic sea- ice cover, warming of polar land masses, freshening in ocean currents, and shifts in circulation patterns in the atmosphere and the oceans.”
