Humans blamed for climate change
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website, Paris
The options for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions appear in a different light, because you can see what the costs of inaction are

IPCC chairman
Analysis: 'So what's new?'
IPCC report: At a glance
Global climate change is "very likely" to have a human cause, an influential group of scientists has concluded.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said temperatures were probably going to increase by 1.8-4C (3.2-7.2F) by the end of the century.
It also projected that sea levels were most likely to rise by 28-43cm, and global warming was likely to influence the intensity of tropical storms.
The findings are the first of four IPCC reports to be published this year.
"We can be very confident that the net effect of human activity since 1750 has been one of warming," co-lead author Dr Susan Soloman told delegates in Paris.
Strong language
The report, produced by a team tasked with assessing the science of climate change, was intended to be the definitive summary of climatic shifts facing the world in the coming years. IPCC PROJECTIONS
Probable temperature rise between 1.8C and 4C
Possible temperature rise between 1.1C and 6.4C
Sea level most likely to rise by 28-43cm
Arctic summer sea ice disappears in second half of century
Increase in heatwaves very likely
Increase in tropical storm intensity likely
IPCC report: World reaction
IPCC report: UK reaction
The agency said that it would use stronger language to assess humanity's influence on climatic change than it had previously done.
In 2001, it said that it was "likely" that human activities lay behind the trends observed at various parts of the planet; "likely" in IPCC terminology means between 66% and 90% probability.
Now, the panel concluded that it was at least 90% certain that human emissions of greenhouse gases rather than natural variations are warming the planet's surface.
They projected that temperatures would probably rise by between 1.8C and 4C, though increases as small as 1.1C (2F) or as large as 6.4C (11.5F) were possible.
In 2001, using different methodology, the numbers were 1.4 (2.5F) and 5.8C (10.4F).
How computers model climate
On sea level, there has been a more fundamental debate.
Computer models of climate do not generally include water coming into the oceans as ice caps melt. So the IPCC had to decide whether to exclude this from its calculations, or to estimate the effect of a process which scientists do not understand well but which could have a big impact.
They used the former, more conservative approach, projecting an average rise in sea levels globally of between 28 and 43cm. The 2001 report cited a range of nine to 88cm.
As for climate change influencing the intensity of tropical storms in some areas of the world, the IPCC concluded that it was likely - meaning a greater probability than 66% - that rising temperatures were a factor.
'Unequivocal'

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC chairman, said: "It is extremely encouraging in that the science has moved on from what was possible in the Third Assessment Report.
"If you see the extent to which human activities are influencing the climate system, the options for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions appear in a different light, because you can see what the costs of inaction are," he told delegates in Paris.
Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep), said the findings marked a historical landmark in the debate about whether humans were affecting the state of the atmosphere.

"It is an unequivocal series of evidence [showing that] fossil fuel burning and land use change are affecting the climate on our planet."
He added: "If you are an African child born in 2007, by the time you are 50 years old you may be faced with disease and new levels of drought."
He said that he hoped the IPCC report would galvanise national governments into action.
At variance
But a study published on the eve of the IPCC report suggested that the international body's previous reports may have actually been too conservative.
HAVE YOUR SAY
The IPCC have put together a compelling case that drastic and immediate action is needed

Writing in the journal Science, an international group of scientists concluded that temperatures and sea levels had been rising at or above the maximum rates proposed in the last report, which was published in 2001.
The paper compared the 2001 projections on temperature and sea level change report with what has actually happened.
The models had forecasted a temperature rise between about 0.15C-0.35C (0.27-0.63F) over this period. The actual rise of 0.33C (0.59F) was very close to the top of the IPCC's range.
A more dramatic picture emerged from the sea level comparison. The actual average level, measured by tide gauges and satellites, had risen faster than the intergovernmental panel of scientists predicted it would.
The IPCC's full climate science report will be released later in the year, as will other chapters looking at the probable impacts of climate change, options for adapting to those impacts, and possible routes to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

Lawmakers square off on climate report

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Despite a strongly worded global warming report from the world's top climate scientists, the Bush administration expressed continued opposition Friday to mandatory reductions in heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases.
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman warned against "unintended consequences" -- including job losses -- that he said might result if the government requires economy-wide caps on carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.
He and other administration officials at a news conference praised the report Friday by a United Nations-sponsored panel of top climate scientists who said there is little doubt the planet is warming as a result of man-made emissions. (Full story)
But Bodman said technology advancements that will cut the amount of carbon emissions, promote energy conservation, and hasten development of non-fossil fuels can address the problem.
"We have aggressive but practical solutions," added Stephen Johnson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
More than a half-dozen bills have been introduced, mostly by Democrats, calling for some form of mandatory carbon controls in the United States, which emits a quarter of the earth's carbon dioxide releases into the atmosphere.
Democrats newly in control of Congress and other critics of President George W. Bush's environmental policies pounced on the long-awaited United Nations report as if it were fresh meat.
"Although President Bush just noticed that the earth is heating up, the American public, every reputable scientist and other world leaders have long recognized that global warming is real and it's serious. The time to act is now," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, who with GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine crafted one of a half-dozen competing bills to address global warming.
Rep. Edward Markey, a senior Democratic member of House panels on energy and natural resources, said that "for those who are still trying to determine responsibility for global warming, this new U.N. report on climate change is a scientific smoking gun."
The White House issued a statement less than four hours after the report's release defending Bush's six-year record on global climate change, beginning with his acknowledgment in 2001 that the increase in greenhouse gases is due largely to human activity.
It said Bush and his budget proposals have devoted $29 billion to climate-related science, technology, international assistance and incentive programs -- "more money than any other country."
Bush has called for slowing the growth rate of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which averages 1 percent a year, but has rejected government-ordered reductions. Last week he also called for a 20 percent reduction in U.S. gasoline consumption over the next 10 years.
Markey said it will be Congress who will have "to meet this challenge by moving aggressively to transition away from forms of energy which have the capacity to destroy the planet as we know it."
Larry Schweiger, president of the National Wildlife Federation, called it already "past time to act and solve global warming with the urgency and determination with which Americans have successfully confronted other threats to our security and to wildlife."
"This report really provides strong weight behind those saying we need much stronger action" from the United States and other nations, said Robert Watson, the World Bank's chief spokesman on global warming and former chairman of the U.N. scientific panel responsible for evaluating the threat of climate change.

Barcalay's holding their money in DOVP. Good news
As I said ready for a big run inspite of the dilution. bankruptcy fears are over
In penny market rumors are usually not so credible. But none of the other Mark smith shares filed form 15-12 , even though few more are reinstated
Holding the gains. Will pop up as soon as the news hits
VQD-001 (Sodium Stibogluconate) for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
VQPH awarded with a Orphan drug status along with US Army. With a low float this stock will sky rocket in few months. Army needs a lot of this drug
will close very strong for Monday. News ......................coming soon....................
News on the new plant can come any time.Expecting news. Thsi will be 3times in 2 week.IMO
I think we closed good today. There was an effort to get our stocks cheaper today. I would say it was a failed attempt.
Excellent Chart. I agree this is raedy to pop for sre. 5, 20 and 50 DMA merging .
Keep the Focus on MRXT for now. That si where the big bucks are in my opinion. I hope people pay enough attention here.
Since there are a lot of Mark smith plays, focus is lost. New company should come up with a PR soon
MRXT best of the lot due to price and profile for a reverse merger
This will be defenitely be bigger than FCNK as the company involved seem bigger. IMO.
That's what this contact mentions.Will be the run of the year so far.I am addding at these levels more . Not much to loose at these level but lots to gain

I heard from a source of mine that the deal on mRXT already finalized by Mark. Hence the filing was form 15 filing aws done. PR on the company soon coming. Believe it is biger company.
However float is little bigger than fcnk
Anyone knows the difference between Rules :
Rule 12g-4(a)(1)(i)
Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(i)
Rule 12g-4(a)(1)(ii)
Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(ii)
Rule 12g-4(a)(2)(i)
Rule 12h-3(b)(2)(i)
Rule 12g-4(a)(2)(ii)
Rule 12h-3(b)(2)(ii)
Rule 15d-6
With the settlement this should make a run to a dollar easily. I think in 5-6 months this should be trading @ $ 1.00- $ 2.00
Planner, this is sure shot winner. Today was profit taking besides, they wont let it run big time so soon.
news on settlement could make a huge difference. No idea when that's gonna come
VQPH drug appproved by FDA
VQPH drug approved by FDA
