Of course, the IPCC report admits that solar influence on our climate is poorly understood, so who is to say that the model zonally averaged derived temperature trends in Figure 9.1 a is accurate?

Note that these IPCC graphs take 0 °C reference as the 1980 - 2000 average, while the hopfully secure 2 °C aim is referenced against «the natural, preanthropogenic climate», making a difference of about 0.7 °C,

These small alterations are taken into account in climate models, with the average of all models (i.e. an ensemble forecast, a term you should know well as a former meteorologist), scientists (like those at the IPCC) can arrive at a sensible estimate of what we are likely to experience in the future.

Pachauri started by saying that they «clearly ignored» the IPCC's recommendations on how to prevent climate change, and then laid into the G8: Though it was a good thing that the G8 agreed to the aspirational goal of limiting global average temperature rise to 2 °C by 2050, Pachauri said he found it «interesting» that the G8 then proceeded to pay no heed to when the IPCC says carbon emissions should peak.

Recently I have been looking at the climate models collected in the CMIP3 archive which have been analysed and assessed in IPCC and it is very interesting to see how the forced changes — i.e. the changes driven the external factors such as greenhouse gases, tropospheric aerosols, solar forcing and stratospheric volcanic aerosols drive the forced response in the models (which you can see by averaging out several simulations of the same model with the same forcing)-- differ from the internal variability, such as associated with variations of the North Atlantic and the ENSO etc, which you can see by looking at individual realisations of a particular model and how it differs from the ensemble mean.

For example, the latest (fifth) assessment report from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that the global average sea level rise over the course of the 21st century would be in the range of 10 to 32 inches, with a mean value of about 19 inches.

For present climate to show a Gavin / Hansen / IPCC sensitivity of 0.75 C / Wm ^ -2, an increase of 3.5-fold over the net average, one must infer that climate became increasingly sensitive to forcing as «G» has increased.

In April 2014, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that if we want to stay below the 2 °C limit, global greenhouse - gas emissions would have to decline between 1.3 percent and 3.1 percent each year, on average, between 2010 and 2050.

Although the IPCC climate models have performed remarkably well in projecting average global surface temperature warming thus far, Rahmstorf et al. (2012) found that the IPCC underestimated global average sea level rise since 1993 by 60 %.

The mean high temperature projections for 2050 and 2100 were derived from a suite of 28 climate models (CMIP5 / Oak Ridge National Laboratory) under IPCC emissions scenario RCP8.5, averaged over November 22 - 28 for 2030 - 2049 and 2080 - 2099, respectively.»

Using the IPCC climate sensitivity of 3.2 C, the CO2 level by 2100 would need to double by 2100, from today's 392 to 784 ppmv, to reach this warming (the high side IPCC «scenario and storyline» A2 is at this level, with estimated warming of 3.4 C above the 1980 - 1999 average, or ~ 3.2 C above today's temperature).

The IPCC has a confidence level > 90 % that less than 50 % of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is the result of non-anthropogenic external forcings and internal natural variability within the climate system.

``... warming of the climate system is unequivocal... most of the global average warming over the past 50 years is very likely due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases increases...» — Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Dec. 10, 2007

As I mentioned previously, the recent IPCC report has plenty of detractors and failed to mention the issue of melting methyl hydrates and methane emissions from melting permafrost, over strong objections, which the June, 2013 IEA - WEO follow - up climate change report did include when it forecast a 3.6 - 5.3 degree Celsius jump in average global temperatures by 2100.

As professional scientists, from students to senior professors, we uphold the findings of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which concludes that «Warming of the climate system is unequivocal» and that «Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations».

«all of the coupled climate models used in the IPCC AR4 reproduce the time series for the 20th century of globally averaged surface temperature anomalies; yet they have different feedbacks and sensitivities and produce markedly different simulations of the 21st century climate.»

In the case of the IPCC climate models, the outcomes that are of significance for policy making are average global surface temperatures.

Sea - level projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), by our research group and by others indicate that global average sea level at the end of the century would likely be about 1 - 2.5 feet higher under the Paris path than in 2000.

On current trends, the IPCC finds, emissions will continue to soar and global average temperatures will rise between 2.5 and 7.8 degrees Celsius before the century is out, depending on the pace of economic growth and the sensitivity of the climate system to CO2.

Without this drastic USA cutback, IPCC estimates that we will reach 600 ppmv CO2 by 2100 (average of cases B1 and A1T, both assuming no special «climate initiatives», population growth rate slowing down reaching 10.5 billion by 2100, with medium and fast economic growth rate).

... Discernible human influences now extend to other aspects of climate, including ocean warming, continental - average temperatures, temperature extremes, and wind patterns The ASA endorses the IPCC conclusions

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.

Despite all the ludicrous adjustment machinations this newest NOAA revision relies on, the per century global warming trend fabricated (for the 1998 to 2012 period) remains well below even the IPCC's average climate model projections.

Interestingly, this is roughly the amount of CO2 that is «missing» per year on average (if we assume that human CO2 emissions are the only net «addition» into the climate system, as IPCC does).

The current version of the figure gives the impression that the IPCC expected temperature to warm continuously year on year, which of course was not the expectation — the projections shown here are just the long - term trend either from averaging the GCMs or using simple climate models.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Sahel will experience increasingly higher average temperatures as well as changes in rainfall patterns over the course of the 21st century.

That's right, the latest climate science (some 10 studies published in just the past 3 years) indicates that the earth's climate sensitivity — that is, how much the global average surface temperature will rise as a result of greenhouse gases emitted from human activities — is some 33 percent less than scientists thought at the time of the last IPCC Assessment, published in 2007.

Also, perhaps a more open - ended question would be what does he think the average sceptic MEANS when they say «I am sceptical about AGW, or CAGW, or the consensus position on climate sensitivity, or IPCC statements, or the possibility of mitigation...»
