IPCC Report

IPCC Report Confirms Humans Cause Climate Warming

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)report released Saturday, states that it is extremely likely (95-99^% certainty) that humans have caused over 50^% of the global increase in temperature since 1951.  Read more on the 350.org website, which highlights these points:

• 95%-100% is the same level of certainty as that smoking cigarettes causes cancer

• The earth has a carbon budget of 1 trillion metric tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere before warming will exceed 2^oC, a critical point.  More than half of this budget has already been used.

• The last three decades have been the three warmest in recorded history.

Articles from The Guardian, Globe and Mail, and The Star analyze the IPCC report.
