Must read! IPCC issues strongest report yet on human contribution to climate change
The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its strongest report yet on November 17.
Global anthropogenic GHG emissions
The report states "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal" as evidenced by increased global average air and ocean temperatures and rising sea levels. The report lacked the many prior cautious qualifications in its assertions that human activities are responsible for the warming, that temperatures have been warmer in the past 50 years than in any prior 50 years during the past 500 years and likely the highest in the last 1300 years.
