2014 SkS Weekly Digest #44

Posted on 3 November 2014 by John Hartz

SkS Highlights

Dana's Republican politicians aren't climate scientists or responsible leaders is another in a long-line of insightful critiques of how prominent U.S. politicians are addressing the science and ramifications of man-made climate change. As to be expected, Dana's article generated the highest number of comments of the articles posted on SkS during the past week.

“Continued emission of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts,” concluded the report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which draws on contributions from thousands of scientists from around the world.
