The ABC has obtained a final draft of the report ahead of its official release next Friday. While average land and sea temperatures will continue to rise, it shows the planet is heating at a slower rate. The IPCC predicts anything more than 4 degrees Celsius is unlikely this century.

As sea levels go up, flooding from even low-level storms will become more destructive, scientists say. At times I think we get too locked in on the strongest storms, the Category 3, 4 and 5s, said Marshall Shepherd, a University of Georgia atmospheric scientist. But if you look at the last five or 10 years, even the weaker...
