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

"Very likely" is a phrase for fortune cookies and the Magic 8-Ball. Not for science. They didn't even get a phrased usually used by doctors. The dreded "Highly Likely". Global Warming is only very likely.
