If the IPCC says no global warming?

Is that where the 3% of climate scientists are that disagree with global warming? Are those climate scientists incompetent? Why do so many global warming believers dismiss the IPCC?

    The IPCC is a political organisation, with a mandate to prove global warming is man made.

    This is not science, science is to look at the climate in an unbiased skeptical way, to try and identify the truth.

    When they keep changing their mind, first they show a graph which includes the MWP and LIA, then they scrub that when Mikey Mann invents the hockey stick, throwing away years of valid study on past climate,

    Then they keep lowering the sensitivity of climate to CO2, but keep increasing the certainty that man is the cause.

    Is this science?I think NOT.

    The IPCC is just hundreds of the worlds best scientists. Participation in the IPCC is completely voluntary, they do NOT get paid. It is extra work that is done on top of their day jobs (as scientists or professors). The IPCC works by consensus, meaning they tend to be more conservative. This IPCC is NOT a political organization, it has NO political ties. It is just a huge group of scientists and researchers from around the world who volunteer their time.

    "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.

    That's from the middle of the first page of the Synthesis Report. It seems that you did not read very much of the report.

    Here is a link so that you can read it.

    The IPCC doesn't say no global warming, only a pause. Many alarmists try to blame this pause on heat going into the deep oceans, but the IPCC does not agree.

    They are probably attention seekers and sensationalists. It's crystal clear that the world weather is facing a dramatic change either as increased temperatures in some areas such as Europe, Asia and South hemisphere and lower than usual temperatures in places like North America
