Have you read the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) new report ?

Question

.
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.

They had a temperature variation of 500% on thier temperature increase estimates over the next 100 years.

They had a variation of 300% on thier sea level rise estimates over the next 100 years.

Forgive me for saying so.

But when I was taking Physics in College.

If I turned in an answer on a test that was +/- 300% or 500%, i'd have recieved a failing grade.

Thats not hard science, thats voodoo.

Why not have two IPCC reports, one with hard science, providing known facts.

And another with estimates that may or may not be backed by facts.

But issuing a report that says, well the sea level may rise at the same rate it has for the last 3,000 years, or it may rise at historical rates, that will flood most of the world coastal cities.

Isn't science, I can read predictions like that in the National Enquirer.

EDIT:

No, im not confusing centigrade to fahrenheit.

They add that, by the year 2100, global average surface temperatures could rise by between 1.1 C (1.98 F) and 6.4 C (11.52 F) compared with 1980-99 levels, while sea levels will rise by between 18 and 59 centimetres (7.2 and 23.2 inches), according to the IPCC’s forecast.

Answer 1

yes! They concluded it will get cooler after global warming.

Don't worry!

Walmart is having a seasonal specials for those afflicted with clima-o-phobia.

During winter months 50% off air-conditioners and when summer comes along they have half-price specials on home heaters.

So relax.

Answer 2

The IPCC became commonly used in 1988 to learn climate replace extra often than no longer, yet in 1988, the technological awareness became already settled that the planet became warming, and that anthropogenic CO2 emissions accounted for component of that warming. in accordance to the IPCC's First assessment record in 1990, what became unclear became how a great number of the warming became organic and how plenty became anthropogenic -- in spite of if it became organic warming and anthropogenic warming added jointly, or in spite of if it became organic cooling offsetting a form of anthropogenic warming.

Answer 3

Sea levels rise from melting ice (which has been proven with multiple satelites) and thermal expansion (the real threat that is less known).
I think you're mixed up. They said .1mm to .2mm. That leaves much room so that the average is less than (a whole lot of room, and the average of those IS less that .18mm)

As you said, read'em and weep'em.

Answer 4

i think you are messing up centigrade and Fahrenheit.
the IPCC gives several estimated depending on how much action is taken so its ether that or you are quoting what will happen if we act now..

Best estimate for a "low scenario" is 1.8 °C with a likely range of 1.1 to 2.9 °C (3.2 °F with a likely range of 2.0 to 5.2 °F)

Best estimate for a "high scenario"[7] is 4.0 °C with a likely range of 2.4 to 6.4 °C (7.2 °F with a likely range of 4.3 to 11.5 °F)

in a low scenario[6] 18 to 38 cm (7 to 15 inches)

in a high scenario[7] 26 to 59 cm (10 to 23 inches)


ohbrothe...
pine trees and the ocean don't make carbon dioxide, they release it after they absorb it, burning hydrocarbons is adding to atmospheric concentrations because it is adding new carbon to the cycle.

Answer 5

What they don't address almost to the point of humor is that the oceans of the world produce more greenhouse gases than anything man can make.The oceans produce carbon dioxide and releases it into the air. Also pine trees produce carbon dioxide. Should we cut down all pine trees.

Answer 6

Yep. Al Gore's inconvenient lies are so bad that even the government scientists that shared the Nobel prize with him are speaking out against him!
