From the Climate Council: "One hour ago, the IPCC-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has published the first part of its 5th assessment report - presenting the most exhaustive and authoritative state of climate science to date: ipcc.ch We are busily summarising it for you into a short report and graphics for the coming days. However, the key messages are: 1) Our understanding of the climate system has only continued to strengthen. 2) Scientists are more certain than ever that the warming since 1950 has been caused primarily by human activities. 3) A warming climate is increasing the frequency and severity of many extreme weather events creating risks for human well-being. 4) Stabilising the climate system will require substantial and sustained reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. You might have a sense of deja vu? Yes, scientists have been telling us this information for many years. However, the risks are clearer than ever. Scientists are more certain that climate change is caused by humans, than that smoking causes lung cancer."
