Humans Definitely To Blame For Global Warming - UN Report

By Cliff Montgomery - Dec. 31st, 2011

The proof is in: Global warming is all too real and we human beings are to blame, revealed a study released last
month by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).

The report further pointed out that our rising global average temperatures probably will amplify such extreme
weather patterns as droughts, floods, landslides and more intense cyclones.

“Our science is solid and it proves unequivocally that the world is warming--and that this warming is due to
human activities,” declared WMO Deputy Secretary-General Jerry Lengoasa in November to reporters.

The WMO is the United Nations’ “authoritative voice on the state and behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere, its
interaction with the oceans, the climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water resources,”
according to the meteorological organization’s web site.

The WMO study stated that the 13 hottest years of average global temperatures on record all have occurred in
the last 15 years--that is, since 1997. That has given extra ferocity to such extreme weather conditions around
the world as increasingly intense droughts and more severe rains and floods, added the report.

“Global temperatures in 2011 are currently the tenth highest on record and are higher than any previous year
with a La Nina event, which has a relative cooling influence,” stated the WMO study.

The report added that in 2011, Arctic sea ice shrank to its second lowest extent on record, and suffered its
lowest recorded volume.

It openly declared that the consistent build-up of greenhouse gases has placed the world at the tipping point
of certain and irreversible changes to its ecosystems.

“Concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have reached new highs,” pointed out WMO
Secretary-General Michel Jarraud in a separate statement.

“They are very rapidly approaching levels consistent with a 2 - 2.4 degree Centigrade rise in average global
temperatures which scientists believe could trigger far reaching and irreversible changes in our Earth,
biosphere and oceans,” added Jarraud.
