The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is sometimes criticized as appearing to be too conservative in its predictions.But,Ms.Figueres says this report is right on the mark.
"Everything that we thought we knew about climate change has been underestimated,that we will have much faster and much more intense effects from the growing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.So,it's a very sobering message that calls for a more invigorated and more accelerated policy response to address that."
