I’m a bit confused, but I think they said it was likely, which might mean around 60%? I need to double-check that.

I think the key here is the phrase "highly likely." That suggests a pretty high level of certainty, so I'm leaning towards the 95%+ option.

Okay, let me think this through. The question says it's "highly likely" that humans have caused global warming, so I'm guessing that means a high level of certainty, maybe around 75% or 95%+.

Hey, 50% means they're basically guessing. Maybe they should try flipping a coin instead of all those fancy models.

75%? That's a lot of uncertainty for such a critical issue. We need more solid data to make important decisions.
