Massive Government Report Says Climate Is Warming and Humans Are the Cause (npr.org)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: It is "extremely likely" that human activities are the "dominant cause" of global warming, according to the the most comprehensive study ever of climate science by U.S. government researchers. The climate report, obtained by NPR, notes that the past 115 years are "the warmest in the history of modern civilization." The global average temperature has increased by about 1.8 degree Fahrenheit over that period. Greenhouse gases from industry and agriculture are by far the biggest contributor to warming. The findings contradict statements by President Trump and many of his Cabinet members, who have openly questioned the role humans play in changing the climate. The report states that the global climate will continue to warm. How much, it says, "will depend primarily on the amount of greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide) emitted globally." Without major reductions in emissions, it says, the increase in annual average global temperature could reach 9 degrees Fahrenheit relative to pre-industrial times. Efforts to reduce emissions, it says, would slow the rate of warming.

That's an interesting statement to make now

Global temperatures just dropped below 2014 values. If we are suepposedley warming, where is the warming? Looking at the chart back past the year 2000, where is the warming?

One again, climate alarmists are the real deniers, the ones peddling fantasy that goes against measured results. That's not science.

You lie like a cheap cotton rug. Gasoline costs the same, the european taxes are deliberately punative to keep the working class from driving.

And we know we can trust this report because it's from The Government(TM), and they never lie or have alternate agendas from what they profess publicly.
