“The world's getting hotter, the sea's rising and there's increasing evidence neither are naturally occurring phenomena…Climate scientists are 95% confident [according to the newest IPCC report] -- that is to say, surer than ever -- that humans are responsible for at least ‘half of the observed increase in global average surface temperatures since the 1950s.’ …An increase in carbon dioxide concentrations that is ‘unprecedented’ in the last 20,000 years, along with increases in other emissions, have driven up average temperatures by about 0.6 degrees Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit) since 1950…Worst-case predictions are that by 2100, temperatures could increase by as much as 3.7 degrees Celsius (6.6 Fahrenheit)…Climate change is already affecting extreme weather…Scientists are 90% sure that 1981-2010 was the warmest such span in the last eight centuries…Scientists are 99% sure that sea level rise has accelerated over the last 2 centuries at a rate higher than at any time in the last 2,000 years…Even if we end emission tomorrow, climate change could continue for centuries…” click here for more
