It’s nice to be able to change your predictions to fit reality and still be taken seriously.
What a sham organization.
Did they find any of that hidden heat in the Antarctic waters over Christmas Vacation?
And how much of that measly 0.3-0.7 degrees C will be the result of water vapor, heat-trapping clouds, and other natural activity? Water vapor accounts for between 75-95% of Earth's greenhouse effect. And nearly all of it is of natural origin.
So, greenhouse [effect] is all about carbon dioxide, right?
Wrong. The most important players on the greenhouse stage are water vapor and clouds [clouds of course aren't gas, but high level ones do act to trap heat from escaping, while low-lying cumulus clouds tend to reflect sunlight and thereby help cool the planet -etl]. Carbon dioxide has been increased to about 0.038% of the atmosphere (possibly from about 0.028% pre-Industrial Revolution) while water in its various forms ranges from 0% to 4% of the atmosphere and its properties vary by what form it is in and even at what altitude it is found in the atmosphere.
In simple terms the bulk of Earth's greenhouse effect is due to water vapor by virtue of its abundance. Water accounts for about 90% of the Earth's greenhouse effect -- perhaps 70% is due to water vapor and about 20% due to clouds (mostly water droplets), some estimates put water as high as 95% of Earth's total tropospheric greenhouse effect (e.g., Freidenreich and Ramaswamy, 'Solar Radiation Absorption by Carbon Dioxide, Overlap with Water, and a Parameterization for General Circulation Models,' Journal of Geophysical Research 98 (1993):7255-7264).
The remaining portion comes from carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, ozone and miscellaneous other 'minor greenhouse gases.' As an example of the relative importance of water it should be noted that changes in the relative humidity on the order of 1.3-4% are equivalent to the effect of doubling CO2.

Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse System
Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect (4). Interestingly, many 'facts and figures' regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold.
Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).
Human activities contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small-- perhaps undetectable-- effect on global climate.

Water Vapor Confirmed As Major Player In Climate Change
ScienceDaily (Nov. 18, 2008) — Water vapor is known to be Earth's most abundant greenhouse gas, but the extent of its contribution to global warming has been debated. Using recent NASA satellite data, researchers have estimated more precisely than ever the heat-trapping effect of water in the air, validating the role of the gas as a critical component of climate change.

“IPCC silently slashes its global warming predictions in the AR5 final draft”
They claimed this was settled science and over 90% of “climate scientists agreed. Now they are doing a complete 180 degree turn on something that had already been settled.
Of course there is still no honest debate, or logic or “science” behind any of these so called forecasts.
Man can only wish to have control over nature
guess what, nature wins every time

And just last week there was consensus that earth would be uninhabital by 2050. It must be bad when poor ice is driven from the south pole and forced to eat global warming researchers and a couple ice breakers.
The "global warming" researchers at the University of South Wales says that the earth is warming faster than ever.
Hysterical liberal fools are having to back down... Makes me happy, happy, happy...

The IPCC needs to start giving me credit for my predictions of 1 degree C warming by 2100 AD which I’ve been giving for the last 20 years.
