Sobering IPCC Report: “Warming is Unequivocal”
Climate change is now affecting every continent and ocean says the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an international collaboration. If we don’t act soon to bring greenhouse gas emissions under control, the problems will only grow substantially worse. This isn’t a casual statement from a few fringe scientists: nearly 500 people had to sign off on the exact wording of the summary, including 66 expert authors, 271 officials from 115 countries, and 57 observers.
The report is the second of three installments of the IPCC’s fifth assessment of climate change. The first installment, released last year, covered the physical science of climate change. It stated with certainty that climate change is very real and that we are the cause. The new report focuses on the impacts of climate change and how to adapt to them. The third installment, which will come out in April, will focus on cutting greenhouse emissions.
Ice in the Arctic is collapsing, the oceans are rising, coral reefs are dying, fresh water supplies are diminishing, and the oceans are becoming more acidic, which is killing certain creatures and stunting the growth of others. Heat waves and heavy rains are escalating, food crops are being damaged, disease is spreading, human beings will be displaced due to flooding, animals are migrating toward the poles or going extinct, and the worst is yet to come.
The evidence the world is warming is indubitable.

More scarey notions of doom to control the masses who buy into this BS as being “their fault”. Down the line is another expense of penance to pay yet again, for a fallacy trumped up by those in charge. Climate change has always been over the past and will continue into the future. They use modeling to surmise that man is the cause but have no proof beyond doubt, except you have to take their “word” for it with their “peer-reviewed” science papers. Peer reviewed? By who, the other scientists providing the same type of information for the same cause.

This claim is made in the article…
“The evidence the world is warming is indubitable.”
… i’d like to see some of this evidence. Any proof, that that global warming didn’t end nearly two decades ago, would be a start.
Sure, it warmed up… from the Little Ice Age! It only ended in 1850. But, we have already reached the peak of the latest bounce, by all indications. Temperatures are only going to go down, and hard, too. Just look at the past record and you can see the bounces of previous warm periods:

My guess is the pattern shows us being at the peak of the latest “Modern Warming” right on schedule and similar to the previous three warming periods (the Minoan Warming, Roman Warming and Medieval Warming.) Here’s a quick guess on one possible projection of the pattern:
