...ability to quantify the human influence on global climate is limited by natural variability in part, "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate" and that change is expected to continue in the future. But temperatures are not expected to increase...

...held up the three-day IPCC meeting in Madrid. They insisted on modification of the report's conclusion that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on the global climate," and that the evidence of detection and attribution of a human influence on climate...

...report estimated only a 1.8-6.3 degree warming by 2100. The report included a strong statement — "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on the climate" — that was given great play at the time by the environmental community. But the IPCC...

...earth and the climate on earth. Nevertheless, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that "..the balance of evidence suggests...is a discernible human influence on global climate " [Houghton et ai, 1996]. It also stated that due to human behaviour "climate is expected to continue...

...work of more than 2,000 of the world's leading climate change scientists from more than 50 countries, concluded that "the balance of evidence suggests that...a discernible human influence on global climate." The IPCC Assessment represents the best synthesis of the science of climate change. It concludes: •...

...debated, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) concluded in its Second Assessment Report that "the balance of evidence suggests that there...is a discernible human influence on global climate" (IPCC 1996a). (This phrase has generated some controversy in its own right. The many uncertainties...

...'officially' recognized at a political level. In 1995, an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agreed that, The balance of evidence suggests that there...is a discernible human influence on global climate' - 'discernible' being accepted after lengthy debate on the alternatives of 'appreciable', 'measurable',...

...better with the historical record. Partly for this reason, the IPCC (1995, p. 22) was able to warn that, 'the balance of evidence suggests that there...a discernible human influence on global climate'. Still, even today the science of climate change is riddled with uncertainties: about the extent and...

...there is certainly some natural variability of the world climate (IPCC 1995:133ff.) it is by now clear that "the balance of evidence suggests that there...is a discernible human influence on global climate" (IPCC 1995:5). The joint products of human economic action thus contribute to the observed changes...

...The second (and most recent) IPCC assessment on climate change contends that, and for the first time, "[T]he balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate" (IPCC, 1995, p. 22), and that climate change likely will continue. Many (but not all) scientists endorse...
