IPCC has no ideal what proportion of total carbon emissions are man-made, but insist that the only solution to global warming is to reduce those which are man-made

Climate politics heating up after the UN releases bombshell report on global warming

On Sunday night, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) dropped a bombshell report. If humanity is to avoid the catastrophic extremes of global warming … then governments around the world need to ramp up their efforts to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, the report concludes.

… the report’s 91 authors outline the path to limiting global warming by 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial temperatures by 2100 … global greenhouse gases will need to fall by about 45 per cent below 2010 levels within the next 12 years, and then reach “net zero” by 2050, the report says.

This would require “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society,” … as well as the advent of as yet-unproven means of sucking GHGs out of the atmosphere, the IPCC says.

It’s an astonishing prescription, to be sure — but, here in Canada, many expect the IPCC’s alarm to intensify what is already one of the most divisive political issues of our time: climate change and what to do about it.

This report has nothing to do with sober scientific study of global warning or climate change. It is all about politics and getting a few well-meaning nations to curtail economic growth and sharply reduce their standards of living to accommodate a hoax.

The only thing consistent about the IPCC is that since their initial warnings that the planet was in dire trouble, due to man-made carbon emissions, their voices have become more desperate and strident.

“The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) in 1988 to assess scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information that is relevant in understanding human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and options for mitigation and adaptation. 

The IPCC currently is organized into three Working Groups: Working Group I (WGI) addresses observed and projected changes in climate; Working Group II (WGII) addresses vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation related to climate change; and Working Group III (WGIII) addresses options for mitigation of climate change.”

Read that mandate very carefully.

The IPCC is not studying the effects of carbon emissions on global warming. It is focused on man-made carbon emissions only, and ignores all other sources of carbon emissions into the atmosphere … 

.... that would include volcanoes, rotting vegetation in forests and wet lands, forest fires, peat bog fires, melting tundra, burning animal waste for fuel, and rotting garbage.

Worse than that, they are focused on coal, gas, oil and all carbon-based energy fuels.

The IPCC has no ideal of what proportion of total carbon emissions are man-made emissions, but insist that the only solution is to reduce man-made carbon emissions. That is like rushing to an accident victim and spending all resources on stopping bleeding in a cut leg, while ignoring a punctured lung from a chest impact from the same accident.

Part of the IPCC deception is the statement that the report is the work of 91 scientists. Yes that is true, however it is not an entirely accurate statement.

The framework of the report was written by 16 people … Chapter 1 was written by 17 different people … Chapters 2 and 3 were written by another different group of 21 individuals … Chapter 4 was written by another different group of 21 ... and … Chapter 5 was written by yet another group of 16.

None of the authors was involved in the entire report, and only 21 were involved in more than one chapter. 

The Panel meets in Plenary Sessions at the level of government representatives for all member countries.  Currently, the IPCC has 195 members. The Panel meets approximately once a year at the plenary level. These Sessions are attended by hundreds of officials and experts from relevant ministries, agencies and research institutions from member countries and from observer organizations. Currently the IPCC has 152 observer organizations.  Major decisions are taken by the Panel during the Plenary Session.

For example;

1.           the election of the IPCC Chair, IPCC Bureau and the Task Force Bureau;

2.           the structure and mandate of IPCC Working Groups and Task Forces;

3.           IPCC Principles and Procedures;

4.           the work plan of the IPCC;

5.           the budget;

6.           the scope and outline of IPCC reports; and

7.           the approval, adoption and acceptance of reports.

It is not comforting to know that the IPCC is governed by 195 members nations, who are lobbied by 152 attending observer organizations, while less than three dozen nations are making some effort to reduce carbon emissions.

The IPCC is completely politicized and is overrun by non-democratic nations who have no interest in climate change, but have a strong interest in bringing down first world nations.
