3 Things Scientists Need to Know About the IPCC

(September 1, 2015)

Now let’s take a look at point #2: Scientists are not in charge at the IPCC. Its latest report contains 60 chapters and totals more than 7,000 pages. Many good, sincere scientists toiled away on their own small portion of that enormous report. These people no doubt did their best to be honest and accurate.

But here’s the problem: almost no one will ever read that 7,000-page report. (…)

Everyone knows this. Which is why the IPCC also produces documents in the 20 to 30-page range bearing the title: Summary for Policymakers. (…)

In fact, IPCC authors only draft these summaries. And then something incredible transpires.
A big IPCC meeting takes place. Attended by governments. Although some people in the room are scientists, the vast majority are diplomats, politicians, foreign affairs specialists, bureaucrats, and assorted other officials. These people then spend the next week re-writing the summary authored by scientists.(…)

But the bad news doesn’t stop there. There’s actually a step in the IPCC process in which the original, lengthy report gets amended so that it conforms to the politically-negotiated Summary. I am not making this up.

Nations reach climate change agreement in Glasgow but follow-through in doubt

But the deal reached goes further than any before it, in no small part because scientists have made clear that without a significant and sustained effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions, the world is poised to embark upon an era of catastrophic consequences. If the signatories all follow through on their promises and return in 2023 with even stronger emissions targets, it is still possible that mankind could spare itself the worst effects of climate change.

The bottom line is that this is a week of naked political horse trading that goes on behind closed doors. Journalists are not allowed to witness what takes place, which is why we’ve been looking at official IPCC photos here. This is what they permit us to see.

It’s only after the diplomats have haggled over this Summary – paragraph by paragraph – that the final version gets officially released at a press conference.

The world is then told that science has spoken. But what’s just happened has nothing to do with science. Scientific truth is not determined in the dead of night by UN-level negotiations. On what planet would such an approach make scientific sense?

Climate change: COP26 is the biggest conference in the world. Here‘s why it matters

Unless nations take drastic action to wean themselves off fossil fuels in the coming decade.

That‘s why November‘s UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, is being hailed as „the world‘s best last chance“ to get the climate emergency under control. To ensure temperature change remains „well below“ the 2 degrees Celsius agreed to by UN signatories in the Paris Agreement in 2015, countries need to act fast and double down on commitments to reach net zero emissions.

Vital role of ocean in upcoming COP 26 highlighted by world leaders as UN Global Compact launches Ocean Stewardship Coalition

UNITED NATIONS, New York, 20 September 2021 — With less than two months until COP 26, the United Nations Global Compact today launched the Ocean Stewardship Coalition to address the twin crises of biodiversity and climate change. Research suggests that ocean mitigation solutions could reduce the emissions gap by up a fifth on a 1.5° C pathway by 2050.

Sechster Klimareport des IPCC enttäuscht auf ganzer Linie

Genauso kurios ist, dass der Bericht nun beim Extremwetter ziemlich sicher eine menschengemachte Komponente sieht. Das ist schon ziemlich verrückt, denn die meisten Extremwetterarten besitzen in den letzten 150 Jahren gar keinen Trend. Und die Modelle von Friederike Otto und Mitstreitern scheitern regelmäßig bei der Aufgabe, die Extremwetterentwicklung der letzten vorindustriellen Jahrtausende abzubilden. Mit diesen fehlerhaften Modellen wird dann die „Attribution“ also Zuordnung von Mensch vs. Natur vorgenommen. Das ist wie Fahren ohne Führerschein. Der AR6 behandelt das unwahrscheinliche RCP 8.5-Emissionsszenario als wenn es eine plausible Möglichkeit wäre. Ein schwerer Fehler, der Politiker und andere Nichtspezialisten fehlinformiert. Nun wird die Luft dünn für den IPCC, denn mit einer ergebnisoffenen, neutralen Zusammenfassung des Wissensstandes hat der AR6 nichts zu tun. Nur die EINE Seite des wissenschaftlichen Meinungsspektrums ist enthalten. Kritiker durften von vorneherein nicht mitschreiben. Sie konnten als Gutachter ihren Frust abladen und ihre Kritik aufschreiben. Die landete jedoch direkt im Papierkorb. Denn berücksichtigt wurde davon nichts. Die Gutachterpolizei („Review Editors“) sind nämlich vom gleichen politischen Gremium gewählt worden wie die Autoren, dem IPCC Vorstand. Und der wird von den Regierungen gewählt, vor allem den grün-geprägten Umwelministerien der Länder.

The IPCC: Where‘s the Science?

(Mar 11, 2014)

The UN‘s climate panel claims to be a ‚scientific body.‘ But it‘s actually in the business of writing reports that rely on thousands of judgment calls. It‘s time to stop pretending that fallible human judgment is ‚science.‘

Mr Sharma said countries who are attending the international Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow in November “must send a clear market signal to get the transition moving faster”.

‘It Is All Connected’: Extreme Weather in the Age of Climate Change

(today)

The question is, how much did climate change affect this specific storm and the resulting floods?

A complete answer will have to await analyses, almost certain to be undertaken given the magnitude of the disaster, that will seek to learn if climate change made this storm more likely, and if so, by how much.

But for many scientists the trend is clear. “The answer is yes — all major weather these days is being affected by the changes in climate,” said Donald J. Wuebbles, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Illinois.

Praktisch so wie bei einem Thermostat: Unter dem Begriff „Geoengineering“ (auch Climate Engineering) werden Eingriffe in die Kreisläufe der Erde vorgenommen – beispielsweise um den Strahlungshaushalt des Planeten zu steuern.

3 Things Scientists Need to Know About the IPCC

So what’s going on here? How do we explain this outlandish, perverse process?

Well Rajendra Pachauri, who chaired the IPCC for 13 years, said that its “main customer” was something called the UNFCCC. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele is an IPCC official who’s working very hard to become its new chairman. This is slide #26 from a presentation he gave a few years ago: The IPCC, he says, is “eager to continue serving the UNFCCC process.” What does that mean?

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an international treaty. If you’re the UN, and you’re trying to persuade nearly 200 different parties to act together, you need to start from somewhere. You need an established body of facts, a master document, a bible that everyone can use as a jumping-off point. IPCC reports, it turns out, serve that purpose.

In other words, the IPCC’s primary function is to enable a political instrument – a treaty between nation states. This is high octane politics.

Efforts to curb greenhouse gas-emissions and the impacts of global warming will fall significantly short without drastic changes in global land use, agriculture and human diets, leading researchers warn in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations.

The special report on climate and land by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes plant-based diets as a major opportunity for mitigating and adapting to climate change ― and includes a policy recommendation to reduce meat consumption.

Ein internationales Team aus 107 Wissenschaftlern hat dafür in dreijähriger Arbeit über 7000 Studien ausgewertet.
