The news on climate change seemed bad enough in 2007, when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) announced in their fourth assessment report that «warming of the climate system is unequivocal,» that humans were «very likely» to blame, and that if we keep pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, climate will «very likely» change much more than it did in the 20th century.

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

Recognizes that warming of the climate system, as a consequence of human activity, is unequivocal, as assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change in its Fourth Assessment Report;

To their credit, the authors are not saying that «anthropogenic warming of the climate system can be detected by temperature observations», but the reader is left wondering how this «anthropogenic warming» component is to be ferreted out from the temperature data.

The second paragraph of the Chapter 9 Executive Summary starts with: «Human - induced warming of the climate system is widespread.

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level (see Figure SPM.3).
