KINGSTON, Jamaica – THE United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has just released its latest report on global warming. The report, the fifth in the last 23 years, contains findings which are no surprise but which confirm an indisputable trend — scientists are 95 per cent certain that global warming over the last 60 years is due to human activity.
Even more disturbing is the indication that global warming is taking place at an accelerated pace, certainly faster than anticipated in earlier reports.
