Educate yourself about climate change...

What can we each do to combat climate change?  First and foremost,  begin educating yourself about this issue.  Pay attention to it.  Then,  decide if you must act in terms of your own lifestyle changes, or in terms of some type of community response.

In an official statement issued to press on Friday morning, the panel said: "Human influence on the climate system is clear. This is evident in most regions of the globe.

"It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. The evidence for this has grown."

Warming in the climate system is "unequivocal" and changes seen since the mid 20th century have been "unprecedented over decades to millenia", they added.
