CNN: The world's getting hotter, the sea's rising and there's increasing evidence neither are naturally occurring phenomena. So says a report from the U.N. International Panel on Climate Change, a document released every six years that is considered the benchmark on the topic. More than 800 authors and 50 editors from dozens of countries took part in its creation. The summary for policymakers was released early Friday, while the full report, which bills itself as "a comprehensive assessment of the physical...

Climate change report: "extremely likely" humans are responsible
2013-09-27 11:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Human activity has caused at least half of climate change in the last half-century, hundreds of scientists say. They are 95% certain of this, the surest they've ever been, says a United Nations report published Friday. That activity? Driving cars, running power plants on coal and oil, torching swathes of forestland and debris; anything involving burning carbon-based fuels and emitting greenhouse gases. We are seeing the consequences already in extreme weather patterns, particularly drought and...

IPCC climate report: humans 'dominant cause' of warming

BBC: A landmark report says scientists are 95% certain that humans are the "dominant cause" of global warming since the 1950s. The report by the UN's climate panel details the physical evidence behind climate change. On the ground, in the air, in the oceans, global warming is "unequivocal", it explained. It adds that a pause in warming over the past 15 years is too short to reflect long-term trends. The panel warns that continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and...

Climate change report will point a finger at humans
2013-09-25 01:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: A landmark report from the world's top climate scientists this week is likely to say with heightened certainty that humans are behind the planet's rising temperatures, but also that surface temperatures are not the only indicators of climate change. Senior scientist Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., who was a review editor on the new report, says other signs that bear witness to changes include shrinking Arctic sea ice, melting Greenland ice, warming...
