is "very likely" caused by man

"Very likely" is a phrase for fortune cookies and the Magic 8-Ball. Not for science.

We're doomed........

That was the strongest conclusion to date, making it nearly impossible to say natural forces are to blame.

Natural forces are to blame. That was not only not nearly impossible, it was quite easy.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!

Annoyance is "very likely" caused by global whining idiots posing as scientists.

Can scientists be sued for malpractice when they recklessly abandon the scientific principal when speaking on behalf of science?

Just once I'd LOVE to hear someone aske these global warming evangelicals, "what caused the global warming that ended the last ice age?"

Sorry. I stopped reading at "Paris-"

This rubbish will never end.

Short version;

The people who believe global warming is man made were somehow shocked that they proved it. Most of the blame can be put squarely on the US. Now their biggest task is to determine how best to mess up America, whether it solves the problem or not.

What that means in simple language is "we have this nailed," said top U.S. climate scientist Jerry Mahlman, who originated the percentage system.

What a geniues. Every two or three years they pull a bigger percentage out of their ass. Some needs to win a Nobel Prize for that.

Agree with the unstoppable part. Unless of course we can send alGore to the sun to pi$$ on it. Even then I doubt he would have much effect.

I like the idea of them putting out the scary part and holding the science part until the hype dies off. That way no one can rebut the hype with the science. Cute, don't you think. Got to wait until May to see the real stuff.

I say we put the whole hoax on ice until May.

Quick, someone tell me how the ice melted 15,000 years ago and caused the sea to go up 400 feet in the last 15,000 years. You know what you get with their latest hype, it's called well within the margin of measurement error.

[SkyDancer]

Ok, we're doomed .... let's party!!!

We're basking in the heat, here!!

Where I live was once underwater several thousand years ago. What caused it then if there were no people around?

[Mr_Moonlight]

The phrase "very likely" translates to a more than 90 percent certainty that global warming is caused by man's burning of fossil fuels. That was the strongest conclusion to date, making it nearly impossible to say natural forces are to blame

Yes, AP is absolutely correct. We must now fully accept the uncited quotation of "very likely", couple it with the (made up) percentage of 90%, and conclude that:

We're DOOMED!

That conclusion was necessary to properly impose global socialism. Thus, it was inevitable. We may freeze our butts off, but no matter what the MUST be human-induced global warming. Politics demands it, and science has no chance against politics. This baby is like the proverbial asteroid of movies -- a threat to the entire earth and all life on it. This is a Godsend for anyone desiring to impose complete governmental control on the entire population. Chavez probably wishes he thought of this.

Once this belief is institutionalized and threat to all life enshrined legislatively, freedom will stand no chance whatsoever...every imposition will be supportable by the need to "save the earth." Global warming may or may not ever have any impact, the institutionalization of the political belief will cause it create a great dark age from which we won't escape for many, many generations.

The panel quickly agreed Thursday on two of the most contentious issues: attributing global warming to man-made burning of fossil fuels and connecting it to a recent increase in stronger hurricanes.

Negotiations over a third and more difficult issue — how much the sea level is predicted to rise by 2100 — went into the night Thursday with a deadline approaching for the report.

What the hell kind of comedy is this? Monty Python skit? What a consensus! I'm like totally impressed with the consensusness of this consensus.
