Global annually averaged surface air temperature has increased by about 1.8°F (1.0°C) over the last 115 years (1901–2016). This period is now the warmest in the history of modern civilization. The last few years have also seen record-breaking, climate-related weather extremes, and the last three years have been the warmest years on record for the globe. These trends are expected to continue over climate timescales. This assessment concludes, based on extensive evidence, that it is extremely likely that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. For the warming over the last century, there is no convincing alternative explanation supported by the extent of the observational evidence.

Good on the Administration for not trying to tamper with this report that has been in the making for the last 4 years.

It's never the scientific reports, but the narrative by politicians and the US media. And that includes both sides.

There has been mass ignorance by the left on the recent Hurricane season and Houston. Several of them have had to issue corrections at late hours and in back pages.

We cannot have a debate unless the doomsday people that offer no solutions will shut up, so everyone can go forward. We have to focus on engineering solutions with less impact, as even some of the most pro-environmental consumers are unwilling to give up their lifestyles to reduce consumption.

There is no "0 impact" lifestyle or consumption, despite what people assume or have been told. And there is no "Captain Planet" solution to stopping those alleged "evil companies."

I'm 100% for carbon and other impact taxes. Most Libertarians are. But that would remove the "special interest" that dominates and allows big lobbyists to get exceptions or credits.
