Of course the IPCC is wrong.
They started with a conclusion.
That's not real science.
They deserve no respect.
Because humans have no ability to predict the future climate.
This has been demonstrated for over a century.
The
IPCC still uses an unproven theory, and wild guess, of the effect of
CO2 that was developed in the 1970s.
Computer models using similar assumption predict, on average, 100% faster global warming than has actually happened since the 1950s.
The actual climate change in the past 120 years, as CO2 was added to the atmosphere, had MANY different CO2 - global average temperature correlations (not that correlation proves causation):
(1) 1910 to 1940
Global average temperature up
while CO2 barely changed
(2) 1940 to 1975
Temperature down
while CO2 increased moderately
(3) 1975 to 2003
Temperature up
while CO2 rose rapidly
(4) 2003 to mid-2015
Temperature steady
while CO2 rose rapidly
(5) Mid-2015 through 2020
Temperature up
as CO2 rose rapidly
(6) 2020 through 2021
Temperature down
as CO2 rose rapidly
NOTE: For the prior 4.5 billion years:
-- Natural temperature changes led
natural CO2 changes by hundreds of years.
SUMMARY:
In the past 4.5 billion years, only the few years, shown
in (3) and (5), have had a strong positive correlation of CO2 levels and
the global average temperature. The evidence shows CO2 is NOT the
climate "control knob."
We have experienced a general, intermittent warming trend since the 1970s, and it has been harmless at worst -- I would say beneficial for our planet.
There is no logical reason to declare future global warming must happen, can only happen at a rate that is much faster than past global warming, and will be dangerous warming, rather than beneficial warming.
Such a claim is speculation completely ignoring over a century of actual experience with adding man made CO2 to the atmosphere.
There is climate reality, and there are scary climate predictions -- 100% wrong since they began with oceanographer Roger Revelle in 1957.
The typical Climate Alarmist claim that we must act now, whether our climate projections are right or wrong, is a propaganda tool used by dictators, not used by honest people.
The coming climate crisis is an imaginary boogeyman, created by Climate Alarmists.
Warmer winter nights in Siberia are part of climate change reality, that is described by Climate Realists.
As a Climate Realist since the 1990s, I celebrate the slightly warmer winters in Michigan (although colder in 2021/2022 so far) compared with the 1970s winters, when I moved here from New York.
If you are interested, the following link summarizes 140 scientific papers that predict only a small amount of global warming from additional man made CO2 in the atmosphere:
If you are interested in articles about climate science and energy that refute the "CO2 boogeyman" predictions, and fake news, I include my favorite articles, by other authors, here every day on my climate science and energy blog.
There are no scary climate predictions here -- some people might find that disappointing. But climate predictions are almost always wrong, so there is no logical reason to take them seriously.
