The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released a report strongly reinforcing the link between humans and global warming
IPCC 'Conservative' On Sea Level Rise

IRIN: The international scientific community's new assessment of the estimated sea level rise caused by global warming is a significant development, but experts say the projections for higher sea levels in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC) assessment report (AR5) are still on the low side. The projections are of immediate concern to low-lying countries and small island states. The new estimates are between 8cm and 98 cm by 2100, depending on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted and efforts...

IPCC report: Effective policy action needed to arrest climate change
2013-10-07 22:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Economic Times: The latest report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has marshalled a mass of data, trends and analyses that unequivocally suggest warming of the climate system, albeit in the teeny decimal points of 0.85° C when globally averaged for the period 1880 to 2012. Now, in complex systems, small changes can add up to large effects. The Fifth Assessment Report does take note of extreme weather and climate events and global-scale changes in precipitation patterns witnessed in recent years,...

UN climate change panel: two graphs that tell the real story of the IPCC report

Guardian: Millions of words have been written about the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But for me, two key messages stand out one for its importance, the other for its lack of importance, relative to the attention that it has received. Since our interactive graph about temperatures in your lifetime has generated so much interest, I thought I'd do a graph to explain each of these two points too. Commentators such as Matt Ridley and David Rose who are keen to play down...
IPCC report contains 'grave' carbon budget message

Climate Central: Within the voluminous report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published on Sept. 27 is a conclusion as sobering as any climate change warning to date. The world is currently on track to emit enough greenhouse gases by about 2040 to exceed the globally agreed upon temperature target of 3.6°F (commonly referred to in international negotiations as the 2°C target), beyond which the risks of "dangerous' consequences of global warming escalate. In laying out a global...
