The new
report, published
last Friday, reaffirms the findings of the previous assessment in 2007: humans are to blame for
warming now and in the future.
A few of the main points of the third assessment
report issued in 2001 include: An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a
warming world and other changes in the climate system; emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols due to human activities continue to alter the atmosphere in ways that are expected to affect the climate; confidence in the ability of models to project future climate has increased; and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the
warming observed over the
last 50 years is attributable to human activities.
The initial IPCC
report in this series, released
last September, noted that the atmosphere could bear only 800 to 1,000 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases, in order to restrain global
warming to 2 degrees Celsius by century's end.
But a new
report suggests that tackling emissions of two other short -
lasting pollutants — methane and the black component of soot — could slow expected
warming by a full 0.5 ˚C beyond what targeting CO2 alone could accomplish by 2070.
Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further
warming and long -
lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of widespread and profound impacts affecting all levels of society and the natural world, the
report finds.
At least two studies published since 2010 — one
report from the United Nations Environment Programme in 2011 and a follow - up published in Science
last year — suggested that significantly reducing the emissions of soot and methane could trim human - caused
warming by at least 0.5 °C (0.9 ° F) by 2050, compared with an increase of about 1 °C if those emissions continued unabated.
The predictable retreat of Arctic sea ice under global
warming presents one
last opportunity to adopt effective marine management practices before, rather than after, an ocean is opened up to development, says Lisa Speer of NRDC in New York City, who co-authored the workshop

reported.

warming.

When I wrote with James Kanter
last year about the
report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on impacts from global
