O NIPCC elaborou um belíssimo documento que elucida de forma muito interessante as verdades sobre as Alterações Climáticas. O documento é tão extenso (quase 900 páginas!) e tão aprofundado, que não deixa muitas dúvidas. Por isso fica aqui o Índice do documento e o respectivo link, para que todos possam ficar a conhecer melhor as verdades inconvenientes das Alterações Climáticas.
