Change is what the climate does: Reaction to AR5

Should we rename the IPCC the International Podium of Comedy Central?

The warming is hiding in the bottom of the ocean. Someday it will pop out and say BOO!

Did they play Donna Summers music in the background as AR5 was announced?

Who do, who do you think you’re foolin’?

Key findings of IPCC report on climate change: Global temperatures are likely to rise by 0.3 to 4.8 degrees C, or 0.5-8.6 F, by the end of the century, depending on how much governments control carbon emissions

Analysis: UN IPCC ‘an organisation that is funded by ‘Big Green’, comprised of governments desperate to appear politically correct, vested interests from academia and business, and environmental activist groups… anything the IPCC says must be regarded as equally compromised’

Analysis: UN IPCC Hides The Decline: ‘They are comparing a statistically insignificant amount of warming since 1998, with three decades of cooling. The result is to make this small trend sound much more significant than it is’ – ‘By this dodgy use of statistics and the 1998 red herring, they have also tried to distract attention from the clear fact that temperatures really have flatlined since 2001′

UN IPCC claim: ‘Since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia’ — Real Science Rebuttal: ‘The IPCC has now abandoned any attempt to base their claims on facts. Historical data shows that the climate has gotten better since the 1950s’

[Bastardi] I said this half jokingly, but upon further review I think it's right: “The IPCC lowered their range of warming after 17 years of no warming, but increased their certainty from 90 to 95%. They simply didn't take it far enough. Lower the range to no warming, and you can then increase the certainty to 100%.”

Nuttercelli Says That Disastrously Failed Climate Models Were Spot On Accurate — Apparently the IPCC actually predicted no warming for the past 17 years and record snowfall, but just worded it incorrectly in a way which made it sound like they were saying the exact opposite.

Well, at least they acknowledge that Mother Nature has stopped raising the temeprature. Makes you wonder if CO2 has lost its heat trapping superpowers.

The graph actually shows the number of times ‘ocean heat’ appears in a Google search of [warmist] ‘Skeptical Science’ for each year since 2006.
