Global warming will not only increase natural disasters such as torrential rain, but also will affect ecosystems and agricultural products. This issue is directly linked to people's lives, and appropriate measures must be devised to contain global warming.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an expert body of the United Nations, has released a report on the impact of global warming. The report points out that higher temperatures increase climate extremes, leading to "some irreversible impacts as natural and human systems are pushed beyond their ability to adapt."
The IPCC's past reports have only said that climate change has been affecting nature and human beings. However, by making stronger statements this time, the report can be said to have sent a warning to the international community that the damage will expand unless effective actions are taken.
