The science behind Climate Change:

If you are savvy with using the internet, you can find any number of articles discussing
all the issues surrounding climate change. We advise that you take particular care to
confirm the validity of your information. One source that is considered most reliable
and truthful are the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
You can find it at [https://www.ipcc.ch/]
The IPCC is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations formed in 1988, and includes
195 member countries. Its job is to advance scientific knowledge about climate change
caused by human activities.
The IPCC prepares comprehensive Reports about the state of scientific, technical and socio-
economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for
reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place. We will be sharing study results
along with proposed actions in the weeks to come, based on the latest AR6 Synthesis
Report, dated March 2023.
It is these IPCC reports which form the basis of many of the climate actions being
implemented today. One being the “Inflation Reduction Act” which became law on
August 16, 2022.
Now twelve months after the law was signed, it is already having a significant impact on
American workers and families and is delivering for underserved communities and those
that have been too often left behind. Outside groups estimate the Inflation Reduction Act’s
clean energy and climate provisions have created more than 170,000 clean energy
jobs already. Companies have announced over $110 billion in clean energy manufacturing
investments in the last year alone. The law is delivering billions of dollars to protect
communities from the impacts of climate change, and millions of seniors are saving money
because their insulin is capped at $35 per month. We’ll talk more about this in following
weeks. Please forward your questions and comments to our UUCCHC Climate Action
