Global warming report nears final revisions in Paris
About 500 scientists and officials gathered in Paris for a week of edits to a high profile Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. The document, due Friday, will project temperature rises through the century and attribute blame for pollution. It notes uncertainties on sea level rise and ice sheet melt in Greenland and Antarctica, with debate over potential coastal impacts. The meeting aims to show climate change is real and urge changes in living habits, while not addressing mitigation strategies in this session.
