Today's IPCC report is a netless of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed

climate leadership.

With fact upon fact, this report reveals how people on the planet are getting clobbered

by climate change.

Nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone now.

Many ecosystems are at the point of no return now, and checked carbon pollution is forcing

the world's most vulnerable on a frog march to destruction now.

The facts are undeniable.

This abdication of leadership is criminal.

That was UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez.

In the background of all the news of the last few weeks, there's been another big story,

climate change.

Last week, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change put out its latest

report.

There's a lot of grim news surrounding climate change, but one thing the report also makes

clear, it's still not too late to turn things around.

After the break, we'll get into the report and what it all means.
