IPCC Summary for Policymakers
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued a landmark document this week called the Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. This document does an extroardinary job of explaining the probable causality of Global Warming. This should be a punct
"Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanning many thousands of years (see Figure SPM-1). The global increases in carbon dioxide concentration are due primarily to fossil fuel use and land-use change, while those of methane and nitrous oxide are primarily due to agriculture. {2.3, 6.4, 7.3}"
To me, this confirmation of the global warming phenomenon stops at showing us some reason for the cause.
I would suggest that regardless of the cause, we find a solution quickly. This phenomenon has momentum already building in the environment and needs to be corrected quickly before future generations suffer the costs and heartache to follow.
