As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) Figure SPM 8.

While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure. The global sea level acts like the mercury in a thermometer because warmer water expands. Our job is to be thorough and verify questionable results.
