UN acknowledges climate change

A United Nations panel on climate change has noted for the first time the likelihood that global warming resulting from human activities is causing heat waves and other abnormal weather phenomena as well as Arctic ice mass loss.

“It’s very likely that greenhouse gas forcing has been the dominant cause of the observed warming of globally averaged temperatures in the last 50 years,” says the draft fourth assessment report of Working Group I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change seen by Kyodo News.
