UN Climate Change Panel: It's Happening, and It's Almost Entirely Man's Fault

iONiUM writes The UN released a new climate change report which concludes that it is indeed happening, and it's almost entirely man's fault. From the article: "The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess global warming and its impacts. The report released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a mega-review of 30,000 climate change studies that establishes with 95-percent certainty that nearly all warming seen since the 1950s is man-made." However, the report isn't entirely dire. It goes on to say: "To get a good chance of staying below 2C, the report's scenarios show that world emissions would have to fall by between 40 and 70 percent by 2050 from current levels and to 'near zero or below in 2100.'" Below zero of course means mining existing CO2 out of the atmopshere somehow.

    Woman is as much to blame. In fact I see more tiny little blonde women driving Hummer H2's and Escalade XLT's alone than any other vehicle.

    Blaming ALL this on men and not pointing the finger at women, the ones that are the real cause of global warming is Sexist.

    Women are ALWAYS bitching about how cold it is, it's a fricking conspiracy, they have been trying to raise the temperatures for generations.

    Nope, this is a HOAX, there is no such thing as an atmosphere or oceans !! This is all a hoax set up by the IPCC and a worldwide conspiracy of climate scientists aiming to tax and take away the guns of the hard working US citizen!!
