USA Today: Global warming is "unequivocal" and it is "extremely likely" that humans are the primary contributors to this warming, according to a report released Friday morning in Stockholm by the U.N.-created Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world's top climate research group. "Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate...
Global warming pause is a mirage: the science is clear and the threat real

Guardian: The landmark new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is crystal clear: human action is warming the planet and we're heading for big trouble if carbon emissions are not slashed. As Prof Tim Palmer, at the University of Oxford put it: "The report is further reinforcement that there is an unequivocal risk of dangerous climate change." Yet before the ink is even dry critics are trying to obscure this stark message behind a mirage: the supposed halt in global warming over...
Global warming takes back seat in Wisconsin

Journal Sentinel: Only a few years ago, fighting global warming was a front burner topic among state policy makers. But the issue has been largely ignored in Wisconsin since 2010 with the collapse of legislation that would have required a big shift to renewable power. That's unlikely to change any time soon -- even though the topic will be revisited in a new report Friday. The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, United Nations-sponsored organization, is the first analysis from the international...
Global Warming Is Real IPCC Repeats, Now Can We Do Something about It?

Scientific American: Global warming is "unequivocal." Sea levels are creeping up at the fastest rate in 2,000 years. Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have reached "levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years" (or before modern humans evolved). Most importantly "human influence on the climate system is clear" and "continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming." Those are some of the key messages in the "Summary for Policymakers" of the physical science of global warming from the...
Global warming extremely likely man-made: climate report

Reuters: It said the Earth was set for further warming and more heatwaves, floods, droughts, and rising sea levels, as greenhouse gases built up in the atmosphere. The oceans would become more acidic in a threat to some marine life. "It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century," according to the summary issued after a week-long meeting in Stockholm. It is meant to guide policymakers in shifting towards greener energies from fossil...
