They state that the temperature on average, will increase 1.98F over the next 100 years, the same rate of increase as we had pre industrialization.
They also state that the sea level will rise 18 centimetres over the next 100 years.
From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr according to previous UN reports.
0.2mm/yr is 20 centimetres over 100 years.
So in essense, they are saying, that the sea level will rise, less over the next 100 years, than it averaged rising over the last 3,000 years.
But the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is warning that climate change could have "abrupt and irreversible" consequences.
That doesn't make much sense.
Since thier own report, says that golbal temperature and sea level rise over the next 100 years, will be the same as we had pre industrialization.
Yes they also threw in alarming numbers.
