tw, AR5 is the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. The IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-- " an intergovernmental body of the United Nations, dedicated to providing the world with an objective, scientific view of climate change, its natural, political and economic impacts and risks, and possible response options." And concluding that:
Quote:
*Warming of the atmosphere and ocean system is unequivocal. Many of the associated impacts such as sea level change (among other metrics) have occurred since 1950 at rates unprecedented in the historical record.
*There is a clear human influence on the climate
*It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of observed warming since 1950, with the level of confidence having increased since the fourth report.

I'm not a climate scientist, so I'll take their word for it.
