Global Warming - Term Paper

The compelling scientific accord on the origins, sources and threat of climate change and global warming is in strong contrast to the general contentment and confusion among the public. (John D. Sterman, October 2008).  Even though these concerns are not new to us, much has come to pass in the past twenty years. First of all, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded in 1988 which was a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization. It is a world body that prints periodical reports about the climate and assesses the hazards of climate change brought by mankind. It has, since its establishment, gained global approval and recognition. Secondly, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee established for negotiating this purpose, affirmed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on May 9, 1992 which consists of more than 200 parties and observer nations (Walter Lee Filho, July 2008).
