Meet the new IPCC, just like the old IPCC

News - Environment: City scientists to work on UN climate [fraud] report

The assessment, to be completed between 2013 and 2014, would build on the findings of its predecessor, which [Bruce Hewitson, of UCT's Climate Systems Analysis Group] said included:

# It is unequivocal that Earth's atmosphere is warming.
# It is clear that most of this warming is a direct consequence of greenhouse gas emissions.
# Rainfall is intensifying, although total rainfall is not increasing.
# There has been an increase in extreme climatic events such as flooding and drought.
# Arctic ice is melting, as is land-based ice. Glaciers are retreating.
# There has been a migration of crop diseases.
# Environmental "envelopes" - where different types of environments occur - are changing. This is already effecting the Cape apple industry, for example.
# There has been an increase in ocean acidification.

"The fourth assessment put to bed questions of how much man is impacting on global change," said Hewitson.

"In the fourth report, which was the size of three telephone directories, there were about 10 mistakes, which is remarkably few," said Hewitson. "None of these mistakes change our material understanding of climate change."

He said they were overemphasised by climate change denialists - "well funded and well organised" - "leaping on anything they could find".
