"WASHINGTON
— Directly contradicting much of the Trump administration’s position on
climate change, 13 federal agencies unveiled an exhaustive scientific report
on Friday that says humans are the dominant cause of the global
temperature rise that has created the warmest period in the history of
civilization.
Over the past 115 years
global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit,
leading to record-breaking weather events and temperature extremes, the
report says. The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it
says, and there is “no convincing alternative explanation” that anything
other than humans — the cars we drive, the power plants we operate, the
forests we destroy — are to blame."
