Yikes, who would have thought this article would have already been written?
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/28/ipcc-climate-change-deniersJust a snippet form the link, cause it seems for some clicking on links is a bit of a technical challenge....
"It happens every six years or so: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) publishes its assessment of the current state of scientific understanding regarding human-caused climate change. That assessment is based on contributions from thousands of experts around the world through an exhaustive review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature and a rigorous, several-years-long review process.
Meanwhile, in the lead-up to publication, fossil-fuel industry front groups and their paid advocates gear up to attack and malign the report, and to mislead and confuse the public about its sobering message. So, in the weeks leading up to the release of the IPCC Fifth Assessment scientific report, professional climate change deniers and their willing abettors and enablers have done their best to distort what the report actually says about the genuine scientific evidence and the reality of the climate change threat."
Your asking us to trust Michael Mann.........?????
A scientist who deliberately left out the medieval warm period and the mini ice age to form his hockey stick.
And will not allow sceptical scientists access to the program that gave him that hockey stick.......??????
Recon his hiding snake oil in there somewhere...???

This is what the AR5 paper had to say about extreme weather
Very unlikely
Low confidence
PossibleScience at its best ehhh, makes you want to pay billions in carbon taxes those statements do................??????
Source: AR5-Chapter 12. Table 12.4 page 78
Quote:Table 12.4: Components in the Earth system that have been proposed in the literature as potentially being susceptible to abrupt or irreversible change. Column 2 defines whether or not a potential change can be considered to be abrupt under the AR5 definition. Column 3 states whether or not the process is irreversible in the context of abrupt change, and also gives the typical recovery time scales. Column 4 provides an assessment, if possible, of the likelihood of occurrence of abrupt change in the 21st century for the respective components or phenomena within the Earth system, for the scenarios considered in this chapter.

Lets see....................!!!.....undergraduates and graduates also count.......................????
That's unpaid of course cause it would be a privilege to work for the IPCC.
