New York Times: To my eye, perhaps the most important line in the summary of the new report on global warming science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is this: By the mid-21st century the magnitudes of the projected changes are substantially affected by the choice of emissions scenario. For decades to come, were locked into generally rising temperatures, with shorter-term temperature shifts* up or down shaped most by natural variability in the system (as with the recent plateau in temperatures)....

IPCC climate report: six things we've learned

Guardian: * Scientists are more certain than ever that humanity is to blame for rising temperatures. The head of the United Nations' World Meteorological Organisation, Michel Jarraud, said "it is extremely likely that changes in our climate system in the past half century are due to human influence." The report says: "Human influence on the climate system is clear. This is evident from the increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing, observed warming, and understanding...

Climate report points to human blame

Associated Press: Scientists can now say with extreme confidence that human activity is the dominant cause of the global warming observed since the 1950s, a new report by an international scientific group said Friday. Calling man-made warming "extremely likely," the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change used the strongest words yet on the issue as it adopted its assessment on the state of the climate system. In its previous assessment, in 2007, the U.N.-sponsored panel said it was "very likely" that global...

IPCC climate report: 'the heat is on we must act'

Guardian: World leaders must now respond to an "unequivocal" message from climate scientists and act with policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the United Nations secretary-general urged on Friday. "The heat is on. We must act," said Ban Ki-moon, as he invited world leaders to a special summit next year to forge a global agreement on emissions. The world's leading climate scientists, who have been meeting in all-night sessions this week in the Swedish capital, said there was no longer room for doubt...
Climate report talks wrapping up

Associated Press: Participants of an international conference on climate science say delegates have finished talks on a landmark report on global warming and are ready to formally adopt the document. The talks in Stockholm lasted until the early morning Friday as members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change wrangled over the wording of the report, which is expected to say that it's more certain than ever that global warming is man-made and to raise its previous projections of sea level rise. One participant...
