#-------------------------------------------------- Science: Global Climate Report Juliet Eilperin Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 5, 2007; 12:00 PM There is no longer any reasonable doubt that human activities are warming the planet at a dangerous rate, according to a new worldwide assessment of climate science released by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. With at least 90 percent certainty, the IPCC's "Summary For Policymakers" concludes human-generated greenhouse gases account for most of the global rise in temperatures over the past half century. Hundreds of scientists from 113 countries prepared the report, which represents the most comprehensive overview of scientific climate research since 2001. http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/documents/climate_report_020207.pdf or http://tinyurl.com/2kqdrg Link to the Washington Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2007/02/02/DI2007020200882.html?referrer=email or http://tinyurl.com/2uvvvb Regards, LelandJ Robert Calco wrote: > http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm > > - - - > > It's nearly impossible to have a rational debate with anybody about > this anymore.
