The problems with the SPM are similar those from the previous fifth assessment report which prompted me to write a post in 2013. I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016.

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

That 2013 headline resulted from the first effort to quantify emissions from the ‘carbon majors’ —fossil fuel companies and cement manufacturers whose businesses have contributed an outsized amount of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. Nearly two-thirds of industrial heat-trapping emissions can be traced to just 90 entities.

Three new papers in the last couple of weeks have each made separate claims about whether sea level rise from the loss of ice in West Antarctica is more or less than you might have thought last month and with more or less certainty.

Part of this movement is an oscillation on a timescale of about a year – caused by short-term fluctuations such as changes in ocean currents and atmospheric pressure. This allowed GRACE to determine the shape of the Earth and monitor changes in sea level, glaciers and groundwater. Amazing GRACE.

The new paper in Science summarizes key statements by ExxonMobil executives between 2000 and 2013 that cast doubt on the science. Research produced by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has shown that rising temperatures, sea level rise , and ocean acidification have all been made worse by fossil fuel companies’ activities and products.

1) The science of climate change has made amazing progress since the last report in 2013! 4) Increased emissions and concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases cause warming on land and water over relatively short periods of time (years, decades). Sea level has risen about 8? the extent to which we reduce emissions).
