By Saul Griffith It's probably useful to first update yourself on the climate science. Here's a well-written, critical, and objective summary of recent scientific results released a few months ago. It was prepared as an update between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assess...

The content of stolen e-mails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia has prompted much discussion about the way peer-reviewed science is conducted. But it is also raising questions among some scientists about the workings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Cli...

By JR(jonjayray@gmail.com) According to the UK Met Office, the core climate science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was written by 152 scientists from more than 30 countries and contributed to and/or reviewed by some 600 experts. Not mentioned, however, is the fact that many of the review...

By JR(jonjayray@gmail.com) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests that higher concentrations of greenhouse gases are going to warm up the world. Temperatures haven’t changed much in recent years, but many climate watchers expect the upward trend to continue eventually.

By Damian Carrington Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told the Guardian: "The cost could undoubtedly be negative overall." This is because of the additional benefits that reducing greenhouse gas emissions could bring, beyond limiting temperature ris...

By Roger Pielke Sr. What is really meant by the term “weather noise” is provide by the definition of the term “climate change” by the IPCC glossary. “Climate change” by their definition is Thus “weather noise” are those changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that occur on time scale...

By Roger Pielke Sr. Since human land management continues to substantially alter the global landscape (e.g. see Feddema et al 2005), any climate policy whose goal is to mitigate and adapt to human caused climate change must include land cover/use change as a first order effect. The recent IPCC and CCSP f...

By JR(jonjayray@gmail.com) The IPCC’s Feb. 2007 report stated: It is “very likely” that human activity is causing global warming. Why then, just two months later, did the Vice Chair of the IPCC, Yuri Izrael, write, “the panic over global warming is totally unjustified;” “there is no serious threat to the climate;” an...

By JR(noreply@blogger.com) He did not dispute that carbon dioxide emissions could drive global warming, but said: "The IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is monolithic and complacent, and it is conceivable that they are exaggerating the speed of change."

By Roger Pielke Sr. Since there is no way to validate their model results for the time period 2070-2100 and the IPCC models have not even demonstrated skill in predicting regional climate extremes for the current climate, the results in the Fowler and Ekström are just hypotheses. It is a disppointing stat...

By JR(noreply@blogger.com) Climate change has become a major issue of our time. While history clearly demonstrates that there has always been climate change, the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) keeps reminding us that the current climate change - the measured recent warming of the earth - is some...
