Global Warming: Overwhelming evidence of human responsability

The Director of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, has declared that human activities are largely responsible for global warming. A first report published in 2007 established that responsibility up to 90%. A new report to be published in 2013 should see this percentage increases. A new record rate of greenhouse gas emissions, recorded in 2011, will be responsible for further floods, droughts, heat waves and rising sea levels.
