From the Paper:

"The findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or IPCC are stark and shocking and have already impacted on contemporary social consciousness. The important aspect that needs to be emphasized is that, unlike previous reports and assertions about climate change, the present report by modern scientists have achieved a sense of legitimacy and finality about the present situating. There seems to be, in effect, less possibility that these findings are speculative or questionable. "
"The findings are severe and rigorous in their view that the impact of climate change is potentially life - threatening and could result in the demise of human civilization if it is allowed to continue unchecked."
