PARIS (AP) - The warning from a top panel of international scientists was blunt and dire: "warming of the climate system is unequivocal," the cause is "very likely" man-made, and the menace will "continue for centuries."

Authors of the 21-page report released Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change placed the onus on governments to stop prevaricating and take action.

Among other things, the report highlighted "increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and (a) rising global mean sea level."

Dude, you need to stop -- I'm fucking serious.
