IPCC under fire in blogosphere for 'sealevelgate'
|
15.3.2010 |
Guardian: Environment |
| From RealClimate , part of the Guardian Environment Network
Imagine this. In its latest report, the IPCC has predicted up to 3 meters of sea level rise by the end of this century. But "climate sceptics" websites were quick to reveal a few problems (or "tricks", as they called it).
First, although the temperature scenarios of IPCC project a maximum warming of 6.4 ºC ( Table SPM3 ), the upper limit of sea level rise has been computed assuming a warming of 7.6 ºC. Second, the IPCC chose to compute sea level rise up to the year 2105 rather than 2100 – just to add that extra bit of alarmism. Worse, the IPCC report shows that over the past 40 years, sea level has in fact risen 50% less than predicted by its models – yet these same models are used ... |

Katrina Victims Seek to Sue Greenhouse Gas Emitters
|
4.3.2010 |
CommonDreams.org Headlines |
| WASHINGTON - Victims of Hurricane Katrina are seeking to sue carbon gas-emitting multinationals for helping fuel global warming and boosting the devastating 2005 storm, legal documents showed. The class action suit brought by residents from southern Mississippi, which was ravaged by hurricane-force winds and driving rains, was first filed just weeks after the August 2005 storm hit. read more |

The IPCC needs to change and switch to shorter, more targeted reports
|
2.3.2010 |
Guardian: Environment |
| A handful of errors does not mean that human-induced climate change is an illusion or that CO2 emissions do not need to be cut, writes the former chairman of the IPCC. From Yale Environment 360 , part of the Guardian Environment Network
Until last December, a very large majority of the scientific community and most politicians would have agreed that the scientific evidence of human- induced climate change was unequivocal and that the sole question was whether the world's political leaders could agree in Copenhagen to meaningful, legally binding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. But, as we now know, the negotiations only produced an aspirational target of limiting the global mean surface temperature to no more than 2 degrees C above ... |
