Well...likely...more likely than not...which is similar to perhaps or they think so, according to CNN:
Global warming is here and humans are "very likely" the blame, an international group of scientists meeting in Paris, France, announced Friday.
"The evidence for warming having happened on the planet is unequivocal," said U.S. government scientist Susan Solomon, who also is a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The irony of this next part with the current frigid weather pattern we are experiencing right now is hard to miss:
The IPCC predicted global temperature increases of 1.8 to 4 degrees Celsius (3.2 to 7.1 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100 and sea levels to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 58 centimeters) by the end of the century.
While we have not broken the record yet for the coldest day on record, that would be for today a temperature of -10 in 1917, and the record high back during the non-global warming days of 1938 was 66 degrees. I don't dispute the fact that man and especially green house gas emissions could be a part of the problem but, the history of the earth has had weather patterns, even before green house emissions were an issue...
