The truth about global warming - we know it's real, and we're 90% to 99% sure that man has caused it

Now that Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his pioneering work on global warming, the FOX News Republicans have gone into overdrive in order to discredit the science on this issue. I decided to go back to some old newspaper articles to find the latest science, the latest facts, here they are:

In a grim and powerful assessment of the future of the planet, the leading international network of climate scientists has concluded for the first time that global warming is “unequivocal” and that human activity is the main driver, “very likely” causing most of the rise in temperatures since 1950....

The report is the panel’s fourth assessment since 1990 on the causes and consequences of climate change, but it is the first in which the group asserts with near certainty — more than 90 percent confidence — that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities have been the main causes of warming in the past half century.

In its last report, in 2001, the panel, consisting of hundreds of scientists and reviewers, said the confidence level for its projections was “likely,” or 66 to 90 percent. That level has now been raised to “very likely,” better than 90 percent. Both reports are online at www.ipcc.ch.

90% certain that man caused global warming. That is the one fact we all need to keep repeating. Global warming itself is a certainty. The notion that man caused it, is causing it, is 90% certain. Even FOX News' lies can't beat that inconvenient truth.

Last week, in its first major report since 2001, the world’s most authoritative group of climate scientists issued its strongest statement yet on the relationship between global warming and human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the likelihood was 90 percent to 99 percent that emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, spewed from tailpipes and smokestacks, were the dominant cause of the observed warming of the last 50 years. In the panel’s parlance, this level of certainty is labeled “very likely.”

Only rarely does scientific odds-making provide a more definite answer than that, at least in this branch of science
