well AGW is not 95% certain, not even close - longnshort

Read the report, longnshort. You have your opinion and the IPCC has science. I tend to go with global scientific consensus over random opinions such as yours. Rational people make decisions on probabilities, not on political biases.

---------------------
Climate scientists are 95% confident -- that is to say, surer than ever -- that humans are responsible for at least "half of the observed increase in global average surface temperatures since the 1950s."

This is the major headline from the report, as it marks a stark spike in confidence over the last 12 years, as scientists were 90% confident in 2007 and 66% confident in 2001 of the same conclusion.
