The latest Climate Change Report from the IPCC argues that human interference with the climate system is occurring, and climate change poses risks for human and natural systems.

The latest Climate Change Report from the IPCC argues that human interference with the climate system is occurring, and climate change poses risks for human and natural systems. The report identifies eight major risks with high confidence, and says that each of these risks contributes to one of more of the five “reasons for concern” (RFC) the authors identify:
- Unique and threatened ecosystems and cultural systems.
- Extreme weather events.
- Uneven distribution of impacts, with disadvantaged people and communities facing greater risks.
- Global aggregate impacts, for example global biodiversity loss.
- Large-scale singular events, such as Arctic ecosystems or warm water coral reefs reaching an irreversible tipping point.
