Via MNN:
Global warming is fueled by human activities, it's escalating quickly and some of its worst effects are probably irreversible. Those are the grim conclusions in a leaked draft of a major new United Nations report on climate change, scheduled to be formally released in early November.

"The risk of abrupt and irreversible change increases as the magnitude of the warming increases."
