"'Extremely Likely' That Humans are Main Cause of Climate Change: Report"
'It's "extremely likely" that human activity is the main cause of global climate change that has occurred since the 1950s, according to a new report by an international scientific group.
... The IPCC also addressed the apparent slowdown in global warming in the past 15 years, something that climate change skeptics say casts doubt on the scientific consensus on climate change. Short-term climate records are sensitive to natural variability and don't in general reflect long-term trends, according to the IPCC report. ... "This is yet another wakeup call: Those who deny the science or choose excuses over action are playing with fire," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement, the AP reported. "Once again, the science grows clearer, the case grows more compelling, and the costs of inaction grow beyond anything that anyone with conscience or common sense should be willing to even contemplate," Kerry added. The new report should convince governments to take action on climate change, activists said. "There are few surprises in this report but the increase in the confidence around many observations just validates what we are seeing happening around us," Samantha Smith, of the World Wildlife Fund, told the AP.'
