The IPCC recently completed its 5th Assessment Report (AR5). The preceding Report, AR4 was issued in 2007. The tasks given to the group that develops these reports are to “assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information concerning climate change, its potential effects and options for adaptation and mitigation.” As you can see from the tasking, these reports are not designed to determine if the warming results from natural causes but rather it has as a given that the warming results from man’s activities. AR5 seems to carry almost biblical importance to the Warmers.
Skeptics are exposing the many significant errors that are in AR5. Yet there is one topic where AR5 and the skeptics are in agreement. That area is “Extreme Weather”. Because global temperatures have not gone up for going on 17 years, the Alarmists had to come up with something new to keep the public frightened. So they began peddling Extreme Weather.
