An Inconvenient Truth, take 2...

This was in the paper today. So was this.

The IPCC report is the fourth to be issued by the UN-organized group of scientists, and draws on contributions of about 2,000 top experts from around the world, including many from Canada.

The first report suggested global warming might be happening. The second, in 1995, said it was likely to be under way, while the third, in 2001, had a tone that indicated scientists were pretty sure they were seeing humanity's fingerprints on changes in climate.

Quotes from the newest report on Global Warming:

Humans have already caused so much damage to the atmosphere that the effects of global warming will last for more than 1,000 years
Moreover, 11 of the past 12 years rank among the warmest since humans began taking accurate temperature measurements in the 1850s, a record of extremes so pronounced it is unlikely to be due to chance.
The future is bleak, scientists said.

The report will be released to the public on February 2
