AR5

AR5, or the Fifth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a comprehensive summary of the latest scientific research on climate change up to 2013. It assesses how human activities, like burning fossil fuels, are increasing greenhouse gases, leading to global warming and climate shifts. The report highlights the evidence for these changes, projects future impacts such as rising sea levels and extreme weather, and emphasizes the importance of mitigation and adaptation strategies. Its goal is to inform policymakers and the public about climate science and the urgent need for action.
