"There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."

Kind of convenient that the early industrial age did not contribute to global cooling in the 30's and 40's. Cherry-picking data, typical of IPCC tactics.

Most analyses attribute some of the cooling to sulfur aerosols from the war and post-war industrialization (into the 70s, when the Clean Air Act started to kick in). Remember that the 1930s was a hot decade (Dust Bowl!) and the slight mid-century cooling commenced at the end of the 1930s.
