Reuters: "The U.N. climate panel issued its strongest warning yet on Friday that human activities are heating the planet, adding pressure on governments to do more to combat accelerating global warming.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the most authoritative group on warming grouping 2,500 scientists from more than 130 nations, predicted more severe rains, melting glaciers, droughts, heatwaves and rising sea levels.
The final text said it was 'very likely' - or a probability of more than 90 percent - that human activities led by burning fossil fuels explained most of the warming in the past 50 years."
More.
Reuters: "Severe thunderstorms and at least one tornado killed 19 people on Friday when they ripped through Florida in the dead of night, tearing homes to shreds, toppling heavy trucks and leaving a trail of rubble."
