It's Getting Hotter in Here ... And It's Your Fault

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made no bones
about where it stands on global warming in its fourth report,
released early today in Paris. "Warming of the climate system is
unequivocal," its report stated, adding that most of the warming is
"very likely" due to human activity. If people keep spewing
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, they will "very likely" change
climate in this century much more than they did in the 20th century,
the report concludes.

The IPCC hasn't rushed to judgment on climate change. It took 600
authors from 40 countries 6 years to produce hundreds of pages,
which
in turn were scanned by 600 reviewers. Then the wording--but not the
science--of the 21-page "Summary for Policy Makers" got worked over
by 300 delegates from 113 governments this week in Paris. The bottom
line is that "there's an irrefutable consensus that [global warming]
is real," says geoscientist Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton
University in New Jersey, who did not participate in this report.
And
"there's an irrefutable consensus that it will get worse" if
greenhouse emissions are not reined in.

The IPCC's heightened confidence flows from several developments of
the past few years. More observations of climate--from satellites to
tree rings--have been analyzed. More computer models have grown more
realistic and been run multiple times. And the natural world has
continued to behave as if it is warming under a strengthening
greenhouse. So IPCC upgraded its 2001 statement that "most of the
observed warming ... is likely to have been due to" rising
greenhouse
gases to the warming being "very likely" human-caused.

As for the future, the panel concluded that the climate system is
likely to be moderately to strongly sensitive to rising greenhouse
gases. The particulars of that sensitivity will depend on how fast
greenhouse gases are released, but according to the models, a
middle-of-the-road emissions scenario would lead to 2°C to 4°C of
warming by the end of the century; the world has warmed 0.6°C in the
past century.

The only constant would be change: High latitudes would warm more
than low latitudes, but low latitudes would dry out more. Summertime
Arctic sea ice would continue shrinking, heat waves and droughts
would continue to become more frequent, and melting ice sheets would
continue to raise sea level. IPCC's report on the social and
economic
impacts of such climate change is due out in early April. Another
report on what might be done to avoid or adapt to such changes is
scheduled for early May.

Try looking at the actual data instead of the poltical spin.

[Sam]
The political spin, at least in my country, has been trying to poo-poo
the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near
surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.

Suggest Paul wake up and look at the existing data and references to
that data from IPCC's report on the social and economic impacts of such
climate change is due out in early April. Time to eat crow, Paul.

There is a lot of crap on the internet, Paul. Learn to sift though it
and get a reality check.

[hanson]
IPCC is funded and directed by the UN... the same guys who took the
billion$ bribes from Saddam's Oil-for-Food program. Don't be a class 3
enviro, Sam... "There is a lot of crap on the internet, Sam.
Learn to sift through it and get a reality check." It's about $$$$$. EOS:
