A panel of climate experts say that global warming is here, human caused, and will be here even if greenhouse gases are taken under control. The panel says the same thing that everyone has been hearing over and over - land use, fossil fuel use, and agriculture are the biggest contributors to global warming. A new policy laid out by 113 representatives from different countries now agree that the increase in greenhouse gas emissions is "very likely" from humans, with very likely meaning a 90% probability. In 2001, it was decided that the increase was "likely", having a 66% probability of being right. This may cause some people to be a little more concerned, but probably not much more concerned about the effects global warming is having on our planet.
