Once every five years, the IPCC publishes its latest Assessment Report into the state of the climate. And every five years, governments get together to write their own scary version:
UN researchers are set to publish their strongest statement yet on the science of climate change.
The report will likely detail significant changes to the world’s oceans, ice caps and land in the coming decades.
Due out on Monday, the report has been compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
It will be their first global assessment on the science of global heating since 2013.
It is expected the forthcoming Summary for Policymakers will be a key document for global leaders when they meet in November.
After two weeks of virtual negotiations between scientists and representatives of 195 governments, the IPCC will launch the first part of a three-pronged assessment of the causes, impacts and solutions to climate change.
It is the presence of these government officials that makes the IPCC different from other science bodies. After the report has been approved in agreement with governments, they effectively take ownership of it.
On Monday, a short, 40-page Summary for Policymakers will be released dealing with the physical science.
It may be brief, but the new report is expected to pack a punch.
“We’ve seen over a couple of months, and years actually, how climate change is unfolding; it’s really staring us in the face,” said Dr Heleen de Coninck, from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, who is a coordinating lead author for the IPCC Working Group III.
“It’s really showing what the impacts will be, and this is just the start. So I think what this report will add is a big update of the state of the science, what temperature increase are we looking at – and what are the physical impacts of that?”
One key question in the new summary will be about the 1.5C temperature target. The climate summit held in the French capital, Paris, in 2015, committed nations to try to limit the rise in global temperature from pre-industrial times to no more than 1.5 degrees.
The fact that governments “negotiate” tells us every thing we need to know. Their Summary for Policymakers will not be an objective, independent scientific report, it will be a political statement.
This will be the sixth report, and every previous one has used progressively more scary language, in order to ramp up the propaganda. The gullible western media naturally laps it all up, despite the fact that none of their apocalyptic warnings have come true. Meanwhile, the rest of the world merely pays lip service to it, demands ever more blood money and carries on as normal.
McGrath, not for the first time, shows how poorly he understands the Paris Agreement, misleading readers by saying “The climate summit held in the French capital, Paris, in 2015, committed nations to try to limit the rise in global temperature from pre-industrial times to no more than 1.5 degrees.”
It did no such thing. While it aimed to keep temperature rise below 2C, and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5C, the national pledges actually made in Paris meant that emissions would remorselessly increase, as of course they have done. The Agreement committed nobody to limit the rise.
We must wait for the report, but I have little doubt it will contain the usual threats about melting ice caps, sea levels, storms, floods, hurricanes, droughts, famines and wildfires. All of these will get much worse in years to come, it will say, despite the fact that there is no actual evidence to support this. When the full scientific report is eventually published, this will all be apparent.
Meanwhile global temperatures, following on from the record El Nino in 2015/16, are no higher now than they were two decades ago. Isn’t it strange that things like Germany’s floods this year have been based on global warming, when there has not been any for twenty years!

“Stark reality”
Translation: Climate Liar’s version of “reality”; IOW, pure unadulterated horse puckey.
Are the western media simply “gullible”, as stated in the story?
It seems much worse than that to me. Stuff in NZ have clearly stated they’re in full alarmist mode. They’re not gullible, they’re full-on crazies.
The good news is that people are slowly waking up it it, but the bad news is that our govt keeps propping them up.
Obvious question: why is a warm, comfy, user-friendly planet such a peculiar “threat” to these people? They need to tell us what they are really afraid of….
I know, I know… but then, why am I sitting here, pounding down a large mug iced tea while the Sun shines over my house and I can just faintly detect the scent of rain?
Yep expect a bombshell report and to be doomed sooner than the science was previously settled-
Planet is likely to warm far more quickly than expected (msn.com)
Crazy is as crazy does . De-industrialising the western world and sending us back to the caves , whilst everything we no longer produce will be made in countries that have no restrictions put upon them .
Just who is running the world right now ?
The cost benefit equation is certainly more political rather than economic or climatic .
LIES. The agreement was to limit to 2.0deg C ( but 1.5 would be nice ). So “no more than 1.5 degrees” is a LIE.
I presume the BBC meant to claim is was a scientific body. The word science is a noun, not an adjective.
That is another lie the Intergovernmental body is NOT scientific, it is a political body. That is why the SPM is released first then they spend 3 months attempts to bend the science to back up the SPM’s conclusion.
Greenpeace bag the IPCC for not knowing what they’re talking about with 3.9 degrees climate peril-

Do we have a current winner with the dooming?
The Non-governmental Panel on Climate Change counter report is always the highlight of these times.
As Tony Heller pointed out recently the 4” to 6” of rain that fell in Germany over 3 days disappears into irrelevance when compared to the 23” which fell over 3 hours in one area of USA in May 1934.
If you read the last report of IPCC:
https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_Full_Report.pdf
which is called “The physical science basis”,
You can find the first diagram showing the temperature evolution after year 0 (AD) and all variations before industrial revolution have been erased !
It proves that IPCC report is a fake and cannot be taken in consideration …
I briefly scanned the SPM and realized they were using short recent periods ending on the recent Super El Nino to compare to prior periods. Additionally, they used the recent El Nino-related forcing figures to inflate Man’s impact on global forcing figures. It will be fun watching Dr. Roy Spencer’s future graphic representations of UAH6 vs the UN IPCC CliSciFi GCM projections.
The “Western Media” is not gullible…they are 100% complicit in hyping Climate “News”… aka Propaganda.
There isn’t more bad stuff happening. The weather is milder. The weather 100 years ago was horrific with long heat waves hotter than anything Americans are seeing the last few decades. The northern polar regions had less ice than now according to written accounts by sailors so stories of unprecedented ice loss are lies.
Gotten to the place where absolutely nothing reported by “Corporate Media” is true.
Dr Heleen de Coninck, mentioned in the BBC report, was an author on SR15 and is an associate professor in innovation studies at the Environmental Science department at Radboud University’s Faculty of Science.
She has worked for the European Commission, UNFCCC, UNIDO, UNEP, the World Bank and various governments and private sector groups. From 2002-2005, she was part of the Technical Support Unit of the IPCC Working Group III, where she coordinated the Special Report on Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage.
A political scientist:
She is a past chair and current member of Climate Strategies, “We work to catalyse climate action by placing robust evidence into the heart of decision making.” https://climatestrategies.org/meet-the-board/
