REAL FACTS:
90% of the world’s ice
(29 million cubic kilometers)
and approximately 80%
of its fresh water,
is locked up in the
Antarctic ice sheet.
IPCC FICTION:
The IPCC’s latest serving
of climate crisis fiction,
was released in
late September 2019,
just before the UN General
Assembly met in New York.
The UN's IPCC was created
in 1988 by the United Nations
Environment Programme
( UN Environment )
and the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO).
Most of its 18 staff seem to be
“communications and media
specialists” or administrators.
The IPCC does not
conduct its own research.
Over September 20 – 23,
the IPCC met in Monaco
to consider its latest fiction --
a 173-page Special Report
on the Ocean and Cryosphere
in a Changing Climate
(SROCC)
The Final Draft,
we are told,
was prepared
by 104 authors
from 36 countries.
The SROCC has
6,981 publications
listed as references.
The SROCC’s key findings
are in a 42-page Summary
for Policymakers (SPM),
by 49 “drafting authors”,
under the joint scientific
leadership of IPCC
Working Groups I and II.
The real mystery
is why so many
researchers choose
to remain silent
about always wrong
climate modeler
“forecasts”.
I did not read
the IPCC report.
Because I have
little interest
in reading fiction
( aka: climate porn ).
What I did
was to check
the latest NOAA
tide gauge data
to see if there was any
evidence that sea level rise,
ongoing for 20,000 years
(+400 feet so far) has
accelerated since humans
started adding lots of CO2
to the air ( after 1950 ).
There is no sign
in the tide gauge charts
that sea level rise has
accelerated in response
to higher CO2 levels:
Here are tide gauges
with long term records:
