Global warming debate is over, UW prof says; calls new study as solid as proof that smoking causes cancer

A new study out of California makes it clear that human actions are causing global warming, said a University of Wisconsin-Madison specialist in atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

The study, which shows people are responsible for the increase in temperature in the oceans, is another piece of strong evidence that global warming needs to be addressed, said Galen McKinley, an assistant professor at UW-Madison.
