IPCC consensus since 2007 attributes significant global warming to human greenhouse gas emissions
Evidence
To address growing concerns over the global climate, the World Meteo-rological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Panel created the IPCC to assess research on changes in climate. Leading scientists worldwide evaluated the scientific and technical literature on climate change and concluded that the earth’s temperature is rising and that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities contribute significantly to global warming (Intergovernmental Panel, 2007). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2732
