    Scientists '95 per cent certain' that climate change is man-made

    UN panel estimates sea levels could rise by 2ft 8in by the end of the century in latest draft report

    Scientists are more certain than they have ever been that humans are causing climate change and

    believe that sea levels could rise by up to 2ft 8in by the end of the century.

    These are among the key findings likely to be published next month in the most authoritative and

    comprehensive report ever conducted into climate science - the UN Intergovernmental Panel on

    Climate Change's (IPCC) fifth assessment, known as AR5.

    According to a draft of the report, the certainty that humans are the main cause of climate change

    has risen to 95 per cent, from 90 per cent in the previous - fourth - assessment six years ago.

    This, in turn, was a significant increase on the 66 per cent certainty reached in 2001's third

    assessment and just over 50 per cent in 1995.

    With every IPCC report there is a key phrase that encapsulates the latest consensus on climate

    change, which scientists wrangle over for months.

    Perhaps PhilipP is a Scientist ?
