Global Climate Change Global Warming Currently within 1ºC of highest Temp. in 125,000 years forced versus unforced fluctuations Radiatively active gases; Carbon dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Nitrous oxide (N2O) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) H2O vapor
Attribution Asks whether observed changes are consistent with expected responses to forcings inconsistent with alternative explanations Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (>90% certainty) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations Anthro+ Nat forcing TS-23
