As IPCC Releases New Climate Warning, Politicians Gamble with Future of Planet —
26 Sep 2013 —
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued its strongest warning yet that climate change is caused by humans, and that the world will see more heat waves, droughts, and floods unless there is action to drastically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. IPCC reports are released every six years and are a scientific consensus—read "lowest common denominator"—incorporating the key findings from thousands of articles published in scientific journals. This report concludes with at least 95 percent certainty that human activities have caused most of Earth's temperature rise since 1950, and will continue to do so in the future. Guests here are Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at the Weather Underground; and Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International Executive Director.
