Climate change is more dangerous than previously thought and its effects could be irreversible, according to a draft report from the United Nations.

The Nobel Prize winning United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sent governments around the world the final draft of a 127-page synthesis report earlier this week that summarizes three massive documents issued over the past year.

The draft of the new report contains more serious warnings expressed in a stark, grave tone that encapsulates the main idea of the lengthier, more detailed versions of the three reports.

This report attempts to connect different science disciplines and study problems about burning fossil fuels such as coal and gas.

The report states that human influence on climate change is inevitable. Anthropogenic or man-made factors that affect the planet's climate have widespread and consequential effects and major impacts on both humans and natural systems.

These effects impact the atmosphere and oceans already beset by warmer temperatures. Snow and ice have diminished extensively and sea levels have risen at an alarming rate.

In conclusion, the report states the cause of this climate change are manimade emissions of greenhouse gases that are the highest in history to date and unprecedented in the last 800,000 years.

Global temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Centigrade since the early 1800s, around the time of the Industrial Revolution due to carbon dioxide levels going haywire.

The report projects a dismal picture of a future Earth. If the world continues to spew and generate huge amounts of dangerous carbon dioxide at an accelerating rate, mid-century temperatures can rise up to 3.6 degrees compared to temperatures from 1986 to 2005.

By 2100, the earth's temperature could be 6.7 degrees Centigrade warmer. By then, Greenland's ice sheet will melt entirely, an event that will cause sea levels rise up to 23 feet.

The official release of U.N.'s report will be in October. Changes are still to be made on this initial draft report.
