Scientists never claim proof in a scientic paper.  You'd be hard pressed for someone to claim proof so far as gravity is concerned in a scientific paper.

This is just how sceintific papers are written.

For their claims of proof i suggest looking at other IPCC papers.  For example

"Anthropogenic climate change adds a major pressure to nations that are already confronting the issue of sustainable freshwater use. The challenges related to freshwater are: having too much water, having too little water, and having too much pollution. Each of these problems may be exacerbated by climate change."

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007

In February 2007, the IPCC released a summary of the forthcoming Fourth AsFourth Assessment Reportsessment Report. According to this summary, the Fourth Assessment Report finds that human actions are "very likely" the cause of global warming, meaning a 90% or greater probability. Global warming in this case is indicated by an increase of 0.75 degrees in average global temperatures over the last 100 years.[3]

If they really do mean 90% probability, and aren't talking about the reliability of their statistics... then damn.  That's a poorly written paper almost certainlty done soley for poltical gain.

Which granted would be unsurprising from the IPCC.
