UN Humans Cause Global Warming '95%

A landmark report says scientists are 95 percent certain that humans are the "dominant cause" of global warming since the 1950s.



The report by the UN's climate panel details the physical evidence behind climate change.

It explained that on the ground, in the air, in the oceans, global warming is "unequivocal".

A pause in warming over the past 15 years is too short to reflect long-term trends, it adds.

The panel warns that continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all aspects of the climate system.

To contain these changes will require "substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions".
