Abstract
The IPCC's standing on the anthropogenic warming is discussed in this article. The differences between the climate alarmist and skeptics have been addressed in terms of scientific and policy stand point of view. The political and economical significances of climate change have been discussed, too. Although atmospheric temperature and rainfall precipitation are two most important factors in the climate change, most of the recent attentions have drawn on mainly temperature and $CO_2$ issue. In spite of argues on the uncertainty in anthropogenic warming related to $CO_2$, the inevitable climate change should correspondingly change the humanity in near feature.
