Humans “very likely” to blame for global warming
So humans are not totally to blame for global warming then.
A group of international scientists meeting in Paris, France belong to the “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change”. Its 21-page report for policy makers linked the increase of average global temperatures since the mid-20th century to the increase of manmade greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - with “90% certainty”.
The report noted that 11 of the last 12 years have ranked among the 12 warmest years on record with the oceans absorbing more than 80 percent of the heat added to the climate system. Add in the melt-off of glaciers and sea ice and sea levels are rising. Scientists predict global temperature increases of 3.2-7.1 degrees F by 2100 and sea levels could rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of the century. This means coastal cities like San Francisco could be submerged.
