YOKOHAMA - Leading scientists and officials completed a
fresh climate report Sunday expected to lay bare the grim impact of climate
change, with warnings that global food shortages could spark violence in
vulnerable areas.
Part of a massive overview by the United Nations'
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) set for release on Monday, the
report is likely to shape international policy on climate for years to come,
and will announce that the impact of global warming is already being felt.
Some 500 scientists and government officials have been
gathered since Tuesday in Yokohama, south of Tokyo, to hammer out its wording..
From WUWT,
The IPCC WGII report is out – now the screaming begins anew

"Here is the IPCC’s predicted global warming trend since January 2005, taken from Fig. 11.25 of the Fifth Assessment Report, compared with the trend on the dataset of datasets since then. At present, the overshoot is equivalent to 2 Cº/century.

The IPCC’s tone, amplified by the media, speaks volumes: With
its latest report, the UN organization is attempting to incite and lead a
global coup d’état – with the main focus on Europe and North America...
From Roy Spencer,
Now, I can understand using terms like “possibilities” when it comes to anthropogenic global warming (AGW). It’s theoretically possible that the average warming of the last 50+ years was mostly human-caused, and it’spossible that the slight sea level rise over this time was more human-caused than natural (sea level was rising naturally anyway). But we really don’t know.
And the idea that severe weather, snowstorms, droughts, or floods have gotten worse due to the atmosphere now having 4 parts per 10,000 CO2, rather than 3 parts per 10,000, is even more sketchy. Mostly because there is little or no objective evidence that these events have experienced any long-term increase that is commensurate with warming. (It’s possible they are worse with globally cool conditions…we really don’t know).
But the main point of my article is that the IPCC has bastardized the use of the term “risk”. Talking “possibilities” is one thing, because just about anything is possible in science. But “risk” refers to the known tendency of bad things to happen as a result of some causal mechanism.
From Hockeyschtick,
The UN, along with Al Gore, WWF, Greenpeace, etc. are indeed the planet's saviour. To further prove this statement, see here.
