From the BBC, news<\/a> that a US team of climate scientists claims to have “proven” that global warming is occurring:<\/p>\n The Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is giving back into space, according to a new study by climate scientists in the US.<\/p>\n They base their findings on computer models of climate, and on measurements of temperature in the oceans.<\/p>\n The group describes its results as “the smoking gun that we were looking for”, removing any doubt that human activities are warming the planet.<\/p>\n The results are published in the journal Science this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, their reliance on computer models has the anti-global warming forces fuming. I’d love to see RealClimate<\/a> pick this one up, especially to address this issue.<\/p>\n Technorati tag: climate change<\/a><\/p>\n
