15 Things You Should Know About The New IPCC Report On Climate Science
1) It’s happening and we’re doing it:
2) 95-100 percent certain:
3) Warmest 30 years:
4) Pause? What pause?:
5) Acidifying oceans:
6) Global pollution ceiling:
7) Seas rising and warming:
8) One of the most scrutinized documents on the planet:
9) Massive amounts of data:
10) Summary for policymakers:
11) ‘Yet another wakeup call’:
12) Most comprehensive ever:
13) Senators should pay attention:
14) Deniers can’t pick a response: As Penn State’s Distinguished Professor of Meteorology Michael Mann points out, climate deniers haven’t settled on a specific narrative to attack the report. Some think the report shows a smaller threat and less certainty, some think the report is too mild to mention, while some think that consensus is a bad thing. Yet the report contains more certainty, contains a seriously unmild set of predictions, and after analyzing large streams of data, has a robust consensus on a complex issue.
15) Blistering pace: To put the report’s findings in perspective, Stanford scientists Noah Diffenbaugh and Chris Field found that the current pace of warming is happening 10 times faster than any time over the last 65 million years.
