THE strongest evidence yet that global warming has been triggered by human activity has emerged from a study of rising temperatures in the oceans.The rise in marine temperatures à ³ by an average of 0.5C (0.9F) in 40 years ³ can be explained only if greenhouse gas emissions are responsible, research has shown. The results are so compelling that they should end controversy about the causes of climate change, one of the scientists who led the study said yesterday.
à à ¬The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is over, at least for rational people, à ® said Tim Barnett, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. à ¬The models got it right. If a politician stands up and says the uncertainty is too great to believe these models, that is no longer tenable. ®
Now what politician could that be?
