[1076] Of AR4: Eroding uncertainty

According to the NYT, in the First Assessment Report (AR1) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published in 1990:

The unequivocal detection of the enhanced greenhouse effect from observations is not likely for a decade or more.

In the AR2 of 1995:

The balance of evidence suggests a discernable human influence on global climate.

AR3 of 2001:

There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.

AR4, 2007:

Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.
