90% certainty edit

Hi Bob. IPCC AR4 says on one page that it is "very likely" humans are the main cause of GW. They use this and other expressions of certainty throughout the document, and provided a definition. We cite the page where they say it is "very likely" humans are the cause, and also a page with a summary of their definitions. In case you did not read those 4 refs at the end of the sentence, very likely is defined as being >90% certain based on a combination of statistical analysis combined with expert judgment. Maybe there is a "more scientific" way to communicate certainty, and maybe you know what it is. However, we are limited to what appears in the reliable sources, and IPCC's every-7-years climate science assessment reports have substantial weight. If you have alternative ways to talk about this in the article, with sources, please post your thoughts to the talk page. Have a happy, NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 13:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
