THE next United Nations climate report will ''scare the wits out of
everyone'' and should provide the impetus needed for the world to
finally sign an agreement to tackle global warming, the former head of
the UN negotiations said.
Yvo de Boer, the UN climate chief during the 2009 Copenhagen
climate change talks, said his conversations with scientists working on
the next report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
suggested the findings would be shocking.
"That report is going to scare the wits out of everyone,'' Mr
de Boer said in the only scheduled interview of his visit to
Australia. "I'm confident those scientific findings will create new
political momentum.''
