Abstract
  • The past two decades have seen a fortification of the chain of evidence regarding humankind’s influence on climate change. In 1990, when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produced its first assessment report, scientists were unsure whether the 0.3 to 0.6oC warming observed over the previous 100 years was due to natural variability. A subsequent 1992 report concluded that the “unequivocal detection” of the effect of humaninduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in raising the Earth’s thermostat “is not likely for a decade or more.”
