JOHN BERMAN: Breaking overnight, a landmark U.N. report on climate change says the Earth's climate is warming at a rate faster than previously thought, and the window for countries to take decisive action to avoid the most dire consequences -- that window is narrowing. The report authored by more than 200 scientists from more than 60 nations says countries have delayed curbing fossil fuel emissions for so long there is no avoiding a hotter future. The U.N. secretary general calls the report a code red for humanity. It comes as the world experiences historic droughts, landscape-altering wildfires and deadly floods -- extreme weather that scientists say is directly linked to human behavior.
