The green-fundamentalists of IPCC climate "science" tried their best to frighten liberal/left politicians and Hollywood celebrities with stories of catastrophic global warming and severe weather calamities but are now seriously backtracking - the latest IPCC 'AR5' report determines that the empirical evidence does not support their hysterical hypothesis of CO2-induced extreme climate change disasters

Floods, and droughts, and tornadoes! Oh my!
Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, the IPCC "scientific" community has been possessed by nightmares - those associated with catastrophic global warming tipping points. Their nightmares, they said, were "consensus" science, which 97% of all climate-witches believed.
Ooops. Like the mistake-prone Emily Litella though, it's now another UN IPCC "never mind" moment, confirming what 'C3' readers have long known.
- "IPCC AR5 draft shows almost complete reversal from AR4 on trends in drought, hurricanes, floods and is now consistent with scientific literature."
- "IPCC AR5 Draft: "we have high confidence that natural variability dominates any AGW influence in observed/historical TC records"."
- "Draft IPCC Ch2 bottom line on extremes: "generally low confidence that there have been discernible changes over the observed record"."
As they say, read the whole thing here.
