The scientific debate over whether global warming is real is over, he said, and the historic decline of the world's glaciers, the rise of sea levels and the rise of atmospheric warming have proven that point.

"It is because of the buildup of greenhouse gases. That's where the whole thing starts. We are absolutely light years beyond [suggesting this is because of] natural variation. This is not natural variation. This is the effects of global warming and we just cannot refute that point any more."
