Climate Change May Cause Serious, Pervasive And Irreversible Damage: Report Climate change may have serious, pervasive and irreversible impacts on human society and nature, according to a draft U.N. report due for approval this week that says governments still have time to avert the worst. Delegates from more than 100 governments and top scientists meet in Copenhagen on Oct 27-31 to edit the report, meant as the main guide for nations working on a U.N. deal to fight climate change at a summit in Paris in late 2015. They will publish the study on Nov. 2. In a paragraph summing up the risks, the draft says that a continued rise in world greenhouse gas emissions is increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems. It adds that a combination of adaptation and substantial, sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions can limit climate change risks. Two artists were to unveil 100 tonnes of ice on Sunday in 12 massive blocks brought from near Nuuk, Greenland, outside Copenhagens City Hall to remind delegates of the risks. huffingtonpost/2014/10/26/climate-change-report_n_6049062.html?utm_hp_ref=green
