A document just released by the World Wildlife Fund offers a stern warning - shape-up or suffer the consequences of global warming. The report titled "Major Tipping Points in the Earth's Climate System and Consequences for the Insurance Sector" documents that changes related to global warming are likely to be abrupt and unpredictable.

Additionally, the document says that many people are misguided about the causes and impacts global warming can have on under-prepared communities.
