Scientists Seek Better Way to Do Climate Report - Alarmist Seth Borenstein

Scientists call for better way to do climate report; errors tarnish Nobel Prize-winning effort
...
The flaws — and the erosion they've caused in public confidence — have some scientists calling for drastic changes in how future United Nations climate reports are done. A push for reform being published in Thursday's issue of a prestigious scientific journal comes on top of a growing clamor for the resignation of the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

AP Story Breaks US Media Wall of Denial on IPCC Mess; Al Gore Still Silent - Walter Russell Mead's Blog - The American Interest

For now, the Brits are still ahead. While the American press is still reporting the basic news, the (strongly environmentalist and center-left) Guardian is asking experts around the world how the IPCC can be fixed.

Hint to the American press: this, guys, is what journalism looks like.

Al Gore, so far as I can tell, is meanwhile remaining silent; I guess when truth is really, really inconvenient it’s better that way.

Not FOUR degrees, 1.4 degrees « JoNova

Call me a cherry picker, but going by the full satellite data record we have and drawing a simplistic straight line, we are rocketing towards 1.4 degrees of warming by 2100, (but only if that trend of the last 30 years doesn’t change, which it is, every year).

"This conflation of weather and global climate is a classic ploy by skeptics," said Mark Serreze, a professor at the University of Colorado's National Snow and Ice Data Center.

It doesn't matter what some politicians say," said National Snow and Ice Data Center's Serreze. "According to a NASA analysis, the global average temperature for 2009 is the second highest on record. The real metric is global temperature. The past decade was the warmest in the past 2,000 years."

In particular, we do not observe the large surface warming trends predicted by models; indeed, we detect significant surface cooling trends over the western Arctic Ocean during winter and autumn. This discrepancy suggests that present climate models do not adequately incorporate the physical processes that affect the polar regions.
