It doesn't seem that the call could be any clearer, as BBC News reports:
"United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has challenged governments to act on the findings of a major new report on climate change.
Launching the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he said real and affordable ways to deal with the problem existed.
The IPCC states that climate change is "unequivocal" and may bring "abrupt and irreversible" impacts.
Mr Ban urged politicians to respond at a UN climate change conference in Bali.
"Today the world's scientists have spoken clearly and with one voice," he said. "In Bali I expect the world's policymakers to do the same."
No less importantly the projections:
*Probable temperature rise between 1.8C and 4C
*Possible temperature rise between 1.1C and 6.4C
*Sea level most likely to rise by 28-43cm
*Arctic summer sea ice disappears in second half of century
*Increase in heat waves very likely
*Increase in tropical storm intensity likely.
