...that doesn't sound definitive, it's because, as the authors freely admit, it isn't: climate science continues to evolve as new evidence comes in. Indeed, back in 2006, even before the latest IPCC report was complete, researchers in Britain were already planning to launch an update. Helmed by the U.K.'s Met Office (formerly known as the Meteorological Office), the update, published March 5 in the journal Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, is based on more than 100 peer-reviewed post-IPCC studies.

Its possible, albeit far-fetched, that the simulations are defective. It is even less possible that all of them (and there are many) are defective in the direction of overstating humanity's contribution to warming...

...undertaken rehabilitation projects in the region, having already planted one million new trees in Central Appalachia - but critics say such efforts cannot undo the damage. It's the domino effect: initial damage from mining sets off an endless series of environmental consequences that are hard to trace, and even harder to fix.
