We've seen already that both natural and
human factors affect the Earth's climate. The
IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change. In its 2007 report, the IPCC
stated that: 'There is very high
confidence that the net effect of human
activities since 1750 has been one of
“Climate
warming' (IPCC 4th Assessment Report,
2007). Change”
In fact the IPCC concluded that most of the
observed increase in global temperature
since the middle of the 20th Century is very
likely due to an increase in man-made
greenhouse gas emissions.
