IPCC PRESS RELEASE Embargoed until 14.30 CET on Thursday 30 January 2014(22.30 JST, 21.30 CST, 13.30 GMT, 08.30 EST)30 January 2014 IPCC publishes full reportClimate Change 2013: ThePhysical Science BasisGENEVA, 30 January - Warming of the climate system isunequivocal, human influence on theclimate system is clear, and limiting climate change will require substantial and sustainedreductions of greenhouse gas emissions.These are the key conclusions from an assessment bythe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)that is released today in its full and finalizedform. The Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC Working Group I assessment report,Climate Change2013: the Physical Science Basis, was approved in September 2013 by the member governmentsof the IPCC meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, who also accepted the underlying report, after whichthe Summary for Policymakers was immediately made public. The full report released todayis the basis for the key conclusions presented in the Summary forPolicymakers. This Working Group I contribution tothe IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report offers acomprehensive understanding of the physical science basis of climate change. Policymakers,stakeholders and the scientific community are now able to use and apply the detailed information onwhich IPCC Working Group I bases its assessment. Additional material documents the IPCCassessment process with its multiple rounds of drafting and review. “The Working Group I Fifth Assessment Report, which has over 1500 printed pages of text andincludes more than 600 printed diagrams, provides a comprehensive assessment of the physicalscience basis of climate change, citing more than9000 scientific publications. The report providesinformation about what has changed in the climate system, why it has changed, and how it willchange in the future,†said Thomas Stocker, Co-Chair of IPCC Working Group I. The full report consists of the Summary for Policymakers, a longer Technical Summary, 14 chaptersand six annexes including an Atlas of Global and Regional Climate Projections. The Atlas is aninnovation in this Working Group I assessment, containing time series and maps of temperature andprecipitation projections for 35 regions of theworld, which enhance accessibility for stakeholdersand users. As well as the printed Atlas, there are four sets of Atlas Supplementary Material with 155figures each, and the data underlying the Atlas figures will also be made available as part of the launch. http://climatechange2013.org/

You can see the SW basking at 1115 with the HR Modis courtesy "NERC Satellite Receiving Station, Dundee University, Scotland" http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/

The METO have the low at midnight Weds. over Macgillicuddy's Reeks around 952mb which bodes ill for the SW with gusts 80mph + very much on the cards. A fair bit of rain as well. Quite balmy today. 1/8 of small Cu with a temp of 7C and a light westerly.

Thanks Styx for the interesting post.

Eli is out of his hutch again dealing with some salient probabilities. http://rabett.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/is-message-getting-through.html

Felt like a bit of a laugh so tuned into Jo Nova and her nutcase followers frothing about Charley's comments. I swear some are in the same orbit as David Icke. Have a geek at the "bunch of headless chooks" at Jo Nova's blog http://blog.hotwhopper.com/2014/02/have-geek-at-bunch-of-headless-chooks.html

This issue is certainly creating some strongly divided opinion. Approving Keystone XL could be the biggest mistake of Obama's presidency A State Department report fails to take into account the full climate impacts of Keystone XL. Who is Obama protecting? http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/31/keystone-xl-pipeline-obama-state-department-impact?CMP=twt_gu

The science that makes ice slippery also makes the Olympic Winter Games possible. But exactly what makes ice slippery? Ken Golden, a mathematician at the University of Utah, explains how the unique surface of ice makes the slide and glide of winter sports possible. http://www.nsf.gov/news/mmg/mmg_disp.jsp?med_id=75628

That's quite a trick without a head.

One way of capturing weather events. Drone Footage: Alabama Winter Storm 2014 Video of several highway's with stranded vehicles and conditions around South & East Birmingham, Alabama.Video By http://www.SkyBama.com Alabama Aerial Photography*For those only interested in the Stranded vehicle footage 5:00 will give you the general idea. I left it intact for those that wanted the to see the full version. This video was filmed using a DJI Phantom Quad Copter.

Wet and windy. The only plus was no snow.

At the moment fairly quiet. About 6/8 of Cu. Temp 3C with a SW wind 10mph I think the strong winds are a tad behind schedule but wait. 70 mph gusts for Penzance forecast for later.

Some interesting points in this.

Are the record-low temperatures in the United States and Canada -- not to mention the extreme flooding in the UK and a record heat wave in Australia -- the result of climate change?Maybe not, but that says nothing about the validity of climate change, Climatologist Richard Alley told CNN's Hala Gorani, sitting in for Christiane Amanpour, on Tuesday."Maybe a little bit of climate change, but this is mostly weather -- big, exciting weather," he said. "We've only warmed it one degree, and this is a 20-degree cold snap. So mostly, this is weather."In other words, higher sea levels from greenhouse gases may have contributed to recent flooding in the UK, but the temperatures are mostly the result of a fluke event, the shifting south of frigid polar winds, known as the polar vortex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5niqBpn6y3w&feature=player_detailpage
