Steve Easterbrook at The Azimuth Project explains What Does the New IPCC Report Say About Climate Change, taking a tour through its summary for policymakers, but bringing in material from the physical sciences report as needed.
He has produced four parts, thusfar, with a promise of more to come:
- The warming is unequivocal
- Humans caused the majority of it
- The warming is largely irreversible, and it will get worse as we continue to emit more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere
- Most of the heat is going into the oceans, causing thermal expansion of the oceans and, hence, sea-level rise, and presenting the possibility that this heat will come back out and contributing to Earth surface warming in addition to the warming which results directly from a warmer atmosphere.
I’ll link more here as Steve produces them.
