Perhaps it would be more instructive to read AR5.
The table SPM.2 to Summary for Policymakers has a footnote that says that the IPCC level of confidence in the models in the short term is less than 5%. Or to put it another way - their No Confidence level is more than 95%.
Does it?!?! Where?
Here is the link to the Summary for Policymakers - tell us which page

Glacial Ice mass overall is increased.
No. It isn't. Please don't tell lies.
What the IPCC AR5 says is:
The average rate of ice loss from glaciers around the world, excluding glaciers on the periphery of the ice sheets, was very likely 226 [91 to 361] Gt yr−1 over the period 1971 to 2009, and very likely 275 [140 to 410] Gt yr−1 over the period 1993 to 200910the World Glacier Monitoring Service says:
The average mass balance of the glaciers with available long-term observation series around the world continues to be negative, with tentative figures indicating a further thickness reduction of 0.6 metres water equivalent (m w.e.) during the hydrological year 2012. The new data continues the global trend in strong ice loss over the past few decades and brings the cumulative average thickness loss of the reference glaciers since 1980 at 16 m w.e.

Please apologise for lying to the forum.

Sea level rises.- Check the sea level rise for Kiribati at University of Colorado. (Kiribati is sinking apparently).
Yes - Kiribati would be sinking. The islands of Kiribati are atolls. They are sinking by definition.
If you really want a discussion on the islands of Kiribati - I would be happy to engage. I lived there for many years and know them well.

Tell us what you see.
I see an ignorant fool telling lies.
And so does everybody else.
Why do you do it?
