IPPC climate report: humans ‘dominant cause’ of global warming

A landmark report says scientists are 95% certain that humans are the "dominant cause" of global warming since the 1950s.

The report by the UN's climate panel details the physical evidence behind climate change.

On the ground, in the air, in the oceans, global warming is "unequivocal", it explained.

If you look at the climate of our planet it has gone up and down in cycles, there were periods where the climate warmed and the whole planet resembled a giant desert and equally there where ice ages, so for millions of years long before humans arrived the planet was heating up and cooling down naturally, so I highly doubt that a few hundred years of human industrialisation has had the profound effect that is being reported.


Of course I fully acknowledge that mankind is speeding up the process but I think there should be more focus on working out how to reduce the effect we’re having rather than arguing about how much of an impact we’re having, wouldn’t that be the more productive thing to do?
