In 2001 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approved a report that for the first time placed the blame for climate warming squarely on the burning of fossil fuels. This radio broadcast discusses that report, evidence that global temperatures have been rising in the last century, and evidence that temperatures in the Arctic have been increasing even faster. There is description of some of the effects of this climate change, including melting glaciers and permafrost. The clip is 3 minutes and 59 seconds in length.
