2007 Last IPCC report :
Introduction
“Global atmospheric concentrations ofcarbon dioxide, methane and nitrousoxide have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 andnow far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanningmany thousands of years

2007 Last IPCC report :
“
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.”
Introduction

2001 IPCC report :
“Emissions of greenhouse gases (…) due to human activities continue to alter the atmosphere in ways that are expected to affect the climate”
“An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system”
Introduction
“There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”

2007 Last IPCC report :
Introduction
“Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.
This is an advance since the TAR’s conclusion that “most ofthe observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations”.
Discernible human influences now extend to other aspects of climate, including ocean warming, continental-average temperatures, temperature extremes and wind patterns.
Likely : > 66 %Very likely : > 90%

1.2 Absorption of radiation by gases
- di-atomic molecules (O2, N2) do not absorb IR radiation (no electric dipole moment)
-Tri-atomic molecules (H2O, CO2, N2O, CH4, …) present differentforms of vibration and thus absorb at different wavelength
An example : the CO2 molecule

GWP (Global Warming Potential) : ratio of the time-integrated forcing from theinstantaneous release of 1 kg of trace substance relative to 1 kg of a reference gas(usually CO2). GWP is function of the radiative properties and life time of theconsidered gas but also of the time period considered.

Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxidehave increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanning many thousands ofyears.The global increases in carbon dioxide concentration are due primarily to fossil fuel use and land use change, while those of methane and nitrous oxide are primarily due to agriculture.
Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Discernible human influences now extend to other aspects of climate, including ocean warming, continental-average temperatures, temperature extremes and wind patterns.
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in globalaverage air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.”
