The Royal Society, in partnership with the Met Office and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), has produced a statement on the science of climate change ahead of the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in December 2009. The statement focuses on the scientific evidence which underpins calls for action at Copenhagen, and warns that without co-ordinated international action on greenhouse gas emissions, the impacts on the climate and civilisation could be severe.
A PDF of the statement is now available for download.
