No no no. You’re being irrational, disagreeing with established solid science because of your own political bias.

"In other words, in just six years, predictions about temperature increases have plummeted by one-third and predictions about sea-level increases at the high end have been cut in half!"
It’s working! The fight against Global Warming is getting results, no thanks to the close-minded and scientifically illiterate dissenters. Think how much it would improve if you d#%& skeptics would just do your part. |

You don’t understand, Bruce.
Ya see... it’s because of "Global Warming", that the climate is so unpredictable.....

Far be it from me to defend the IPCC, but if you look at the data, the real prediction reduction is much smaller - the mean temp has dropped ~20%, and the mean sea rise has dropped ~35% ; the large drop in the maximums is simply an artifact of tightening up the range. This is to be expected as further data and refinement is achieved. They’re just reporting what their models tell them.
There are a number of valid critiques of their methods and protocols, but the real problem with all of this is that they want to force me to make drastic changes in my life and economic wellbeing based on completely unproven assumptions about CO2s effect on climate. Their proof for these assumptions is some basic physics calculations which are made using initial conditions that are plucked out of someone’s nether regions, and therefore result in an error band larger than the effect, and a historical correlation of CO2 proxies with temperature proxies, ignoring inconvenient other forcing factors.
I deal with a manufactured product with over 2000 components, and I’m quite aware of six sigma necessity to consistant quality. The GW alarmists want to change a world with hundreds of thousands of components based on sub two sigma data of less than 100 of them. |

Oh Bud, you’re just talking reasonable science now....this is about consensus, you denier! |

According to Tim Lambert, who has actually read the report: "The IPCC report says that the range [of rise in sea levels] is 18 to 59 cm if you ignore ice flow changes, and 28 to 79 cm if you include an estimate for ice flow changes."
The difference is apparently due to recent criticism over the adequacy of modeling Greenland ice flows. The earlier IPCC report described the sea rise levels including the ice flows; the most recent one breaks out and reports separately the sea rise with ice flows included.

and 28 to 79 cm if you include an estimate for ice flow changes 79 cm is still lower than the previous upper prediction, no?
According to the new IPCC Summary for PolicymakersModels used to date do not include...the full effects of changes in ice sheet flow, because a basis in published literature is lacking...Larger values cannot be excluded, but understanding of these effects is too limited to assess their likelihood or provide a best estimate or an upper bound for sea level rise. (pp. 14-15) The chart of sea level predictions is on page 13 (Table SPM-3).
The Summary for Policymakers contains no specific figures for higher sea level projections (taking into account ice flow dynamics). Why do we think that is? Just to make Lambert look stupid?
Let me also remind people of the statement that keeps showing up in each report — in this case on p. 17 of the Summary:Anthropogenic warming and sea level rise would continue for centuries due to the timescales associated with climate processes and feedbacks, even if greenhouse gas concentrations were to be stabilized. andBoth past and future anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions will continue to contribute to warming and sea level rise for more than a millennium, due to the timescales required for removal of this gas from the atmosphere. |

Skeptics are getting a little boring. Taking on the whole of scientific thinking requires a little more than right-wing convictions.
Each of the most common fallacies (’arguments’) expressed by climate change denialists is tackled in lucid detail here:

Why won’t the proponents of anthropogenic global warming discuss the issue of an alternative to their "solution" to the alleged pending catastrophe,namely,adjustment? |
