Human activity is main cause of climate change, IPCC finds
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says it has reached an "unequivocal" conclusion that human activity is causing climate change. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is urging governments to create emissions-reducing policies to stem climate change's progress. "The heat is on. We must act," Ban says.

The United Nations Security Council's five permanent members -- the U.S., U.K., France, China and Russia -- have reached an agreement on a resolution demanding that Syria relinquish its chemical weapons.
